Hütt-Brauerei

Hütt-Brauerei is a traditional brewery brand based in Nordhessen in the Kassel area. According to the brewery's own account, the announcement of the ordered liquidation of HÜTT-Brauerei triggered a wave of solidarity, and after negotiations it was decided that the traditional beers HÜTT and Hessisches Löwenbier would remain on the market according to their original recipes, with production and supply contracts continued by Schlossbrauerei Rheder from Brakel. The brewery's history page traces its origins to 21 March 1752, when Johann Friedrich Pierson was granted the concession for 'Kessel-Bier-Brauen', and notes that the quality of Hütt beers was first recognized in 1838 by the electoral government of Niederhessen.

According to the brewery's history page, on 21 March 1752 Johann Friedrich Pierson, born in 1698 in Hofgeismar, was granted the concession for 'Kessel-Bier-Brauen'. Pierson was the son of a Huguenot family that had immigrated from Metz in 1685. The concession initially limited brewing to the brewery's own needs in the tavern near Rengershausen. In 1765 the old small brewhouse was abandoned and a new brewhouse was added, described as a sure sign that the business was doing well. The history page also explains the origin of the name 'Knallhütte': the former Frankfurter Straße ran fairly level up to today's railway overpass, after which the climb began; horse-drawn freight wagons had to request extra horses for the ascent, which were kept in the brewery's stables, and the carters cracked their whips loudly so that the brewery and inn at the top would notice the request for extra horses. The quality of Hütt beers was first recognized in 1838 by the electoral government of Niederhessen, and the history page states that awards for the high quality of Hütt beers have continued to the present day, whether by CMA, DLG or the Bundesehrenpreis. As a regional brewery, it describes itself as closely rooted with the people of the region, noting that in 1865 the 100th Henschel locomotive was celebrated with 1,800 Henschel workers at the Knallhütte. On the official homepage, the brewery states that the announcement of the ordered liquidation of HÜTT-Brauerei triggered a wave of solidarity and sympathy, and that after intensive negotiations the decision was made that the traditional beers HÜTT and Hessisches Löwenbier would remain on the market according to their original recipes, with production and supply contracts continued by Schlossbrauerei Rheder from Brakel, a traditional brewery that pursues the same values and highest quality standards as HÜTT. The homepage states that the sale was associated with the closure of the brewery.
