Biermanufaktur Engel

Biermanufaktur Engel is a German brewery based in Crailsheim, in the state of Baden-Württemberg. Its origins trace back to 1735, when the brewery was established to supply a restaurant; it has operated under the Engel name and in the hands of the Fach family since 1877, when Georg Fach took over the business. Over the following decades the brewery modernized, installing a steam engine in 1903 and welcoming Friedrich Fach, the second son of Georg Fach, into the company in 1907. The first automobile joined the brewery's horse team in 1920. During the Second World War the brewery, like the town of Crailsheim, was almost completely destroyed and was subsequently rebuilt. In the 2000s the brewery began developing specialty beers, while draught beer still accounts for about 60 percent of production. The company also produces non-alcoholic beverages. Biermanufaktur Engel is a visible local presence, appearing with two of the three tents at the Fränkisches Volksfest, a major regional festival. The brewery markets its products under the Engel brand and maintains an official website at engelbier.de, which includes age-verification for alcoholic beverages in line with German legal requirements. As a privately held, family-rooted regional brewery, Biermanufaktur Engel combines a long brewing tradition with a modern focus on specialty and craft-style beers. Its product range spans traditional draught beers, specialty beers, and non-alcoholic drinks, serving the Crailsheim area and the wider Franconian region.
