Pinkus Müller is a German brewery based in the Northern Germany town of Münster. The Pinkus-Müller brewery traces its origins to the arrival of Johannes Müller (1792–1870) in Münster from his home town Hildebrandshausen in 1816. After marrying Friederika Cramer they opened a bakery and a brewery. In 1866 the bakery is closed and a malthouse is opened instead. In the following hundred years the brewery and the pub are expanded. In 1993 a bottling plant is opened in the neighbouring city of Laer.[1] It is the only brewery left in Münster from original 150 breweries.[2]
Today, the fifth and sixth generation of the family operate the famous Pinkus-Müller Pub/Brewery. So dedicated to quality is Pinkus, that they are the world’s first brewery to brew with only organically grown barley malt and whole hop blossoms. Pinkus Brewery is certified organic by USDA-accredited ABCERT GmbH.
