Bavaria beer history

History
In 1719, the brewery 'De Kerkdijk' in Lieshout was first mentioned. The Moorees family brewed craft beer there on a small scale. Probably from 1680. One of the daughters married a certain Swinkels. Their descendants took over the brewery in 1764.

While small-scale breweries increasingly had to make way, the Swinkels family managed to hold their own. This was achieved by constantly responding to changes in the market. For example, the Swinkels brothers decided in 1925 to switch to bottom-fermented beer (pilsner). This despite the fact that it was more common at that time to brew top-fermented beer. A milestone that ultimately prepared the brewery for the future.
