Hacker-Pschorr Brewery industry Manufacture of beer
Hacker-Pschorr is a brewery in Munich, formed in 1972 out of the merger of two breweries, Hacker and Pschorr. Hacker was founded in 1417, nearly a century before the enactment of the Reinheitsgebot beer purity law of 1516.
As one of six breweries located within Munich's city limits, its beers are among those served at Oktoberfest.History
In the late 18th century, Joseph Pschorr (1770-1841) bought the Hacker brewery from his father-in-law Peter-Paul Hacker. He subsequently founded a separate brewery under his own name.In  the early 19th century, Joseph Pschorr and Maria Theresia Hacker established Hacker-Pschorr as one of the biggest breweries in Munich. In 1813, they built the „Hacker-Keller“ in Landsbergerstraße in Munich, the biggest storage cellar in Germany. The huge brewing and storage cellar is 4,000 square meters big and has a storage area of over 35,000 hectoliters. When Joseph Pschorr died, his two sons Georg Pschorr and Matthias Pschorr Sr. divided his estate by each assuming one of the two separate breweries. 
In 1864 Georg Pschorr Jr. became the owner and assumed management of the Pschorr Brewery. During nearly 21 years of uninterrupted construction, he realized his life’s goal – to build a new large brewery with the most advanced equipment. The Pschorr Brewery was then an industrial company with an annual output that will triple in the years.
In 1972, Hacker and Pschorr merged to form Hacker-Pschorr. 
In 2007, Hacker-Pschorr is the first Munich brewery to switch the bottles of its full range of beers to use traditional swing tops.
