Graf Arco Brauerei

Graf Arco is a private brewery brand whose history is described as closely connected with the history of the Counts of Arco. The brewery's own account traces the family's brewing rights to 1630 in Valley and to 1671 in Adldorf, and describes the Counts of Arco as a Tyrolean ancient noble family first documented in 1124. The brand's website presents brewery-related content including a brewery tour, the Reinheitsgebot, ingredients, and slowBREWING, as well as local festival and promotional activities.

According to the brewery's own history page, the history of the GRAF ARCO brand, described as a private brewery since 1630, is directly connected with the history of the Counts of Arco. The Counts of Arco are described as a Tyrolean ancient noble family with a first documentary mention in 1124, whose ancestral castle Arco lies in the province of Trentino in the district of Riva on Lake Garda. The page states that the family moved to Bavaria in 1614. In 1812, the Counts of Arco inherited from the Counts Rheinstein-Tattenbach Schloß Adldorf, its associated Hofmarken, and the brewery in Adldorf, where brewing rights had existed since 1671. In 1821, the 15-year-old Max Graf von Arco inherited from his uncle Heinrich Graf von Tattenbach Schloß Valley with its associated estate and brewery; in Valley, a valid brewing right is documented as early as 1630. In 1854, through name augmentation, the Counts of Arco thereafter called themselves Counts Arco auf Valley, and only in the 19th century did the family split into two branches.
