History

Since the 1850s, efforts were made, including by the publisher Johann Carl to create a Brauer -Bund. After long negotiations, the establishment of the Brauer - Federal was scheduled for 28 July 1870. The outbreak of the Franco-German War prevented this venture. After the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871, the inaugural meeting was held on July 27, 1871 during the First German brewers day in Dresden. The meeting was attended by approximately 1000 brewers from all countries of the German Empire, Austria - Hungary, 's Russian Empire, Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland and the USA part. The first president of the German Brewers Federal was Johann stone. As an official publication of the German Brewers Federal the General brewers and hop -Zeitung was determined.

Others

Health conscious diet

The Berlin Regional Court the German Brewers Association eV forbidden to sue the consumer centers in a competitive process, to advertise in the context of commercial activity with positive health effects of alcoholic beverages. Recalling appropriate representations on the website of the Brewers Federal, the court Brauer -Bund prohibited, among other things, highlight the beauty -promoting effect of beer, declare its Vorbeugeeffekte against heart disease, biliary and urinary as well as osteoporosis and the reduction of dementia and to praise diabetes risk by alcohol. The advertising at issue, the district court, is not compatible with the rules of a European legal regulation on nutrition and health claims made on foods. The German Brauer -Bund eV has appealed against the judgment, because in his opinion the evidence for the beneficial health effects of moderate beer consumption should not be construed as an advertisement, but as a pure information.
