Dan Gordon's lifelong dream was realized in March 1997 when the first batch of
beer was brewed at our state-of-the-art brewery and bottling facility in San
Jose. The 114,000 square foot facility has the capacity to produce 85,000
barrels of our authentic German-style lagers. We brew Pilsner, Golden Export, Märzen and Blonde
Bock at the brewery for distribution in bottles and kegs throughout California,
Hawaii, Nevada and Arizona.
While brewing is one of the oldest crafts and has a long history of tradition,
our brewery, in par with everything else in Silicon Valley, is fully automated
and is run by WinBrew, a special software program developed by Nerb Engineering
in Freising, Germany. While we still use the highest quality two-row malted
barley, Hallertauer hops, and German yeast from Weihenstephan as we do in all
our brewery restaurants, the technology allows us to better control the brewing
environment and monitor the brewing process to ensure the consistent high
quality of our lagers, just as good as those brewed and served in our brewery
restaurants.
