Auerhahn Brauerei

Auerhahn Brauerei appears on the official website of the Vogelsberger Landbrauereien / Lauterbacher Burgbräu - Auerhahn-Bräu as the brewery brand Lauterbacher Auerhahn Bräu. The site presents a range of beers and beer specialties, including organic and alcohol-free offerings, and traces the brewing tradition of the Lauterbacher Burgbrauerei back to a brewing site built in 1527. The brand's emblem is a donkey with a rider on a beer barrel, explained on the site through a legend connected to the Riedesel noble family.

The official website of the Vogelsberger Landbrauereien / Lauterbacher Burgbräu - Auerhahn-Bräu states that brewing was among the household tasks on the castles of the Riedesel family and their estates. It cites a first document of a Riedesel house brewery from 1498, and records that two brothers, Hermann and Theodor Riedesel, decided in 1525 to build a new brewhouse at Eisenbach; the building was completed in 1527, and from that year the Freiherrlich Riedeselsche Lauterbacher Burgbrauerei counts its years. The site also explains that the donkey with a rider on a beer barrel has long belonged to the brewery's advertising, and connects it to a legend about a knight who received land after riding a donkey for three days and was named 'Rittesel', later Riedesel Freiherren zu Eisenbach.
