The history of the brewery Tucher Bräu started in the year of 1672                                                 with the "Freiherrlich von Tucher'schen Familie" (the family of the barons von Tucher),                   an ancient patrician family who settled in Nuremberg already in the 11th century.

In 1855, when the independent city of Nuremberg had long since become part of the Bavarian Kingdom and Tucher was the very first brewery entitled to call itself "Königlich bayerisches Weizenbräuhaus" (Royal Bavarian Brewery of Wheat Beers), a roaring success began with the purchase of just this Brewery.  The new owners introduced into their factory the steam technology and started exporting their kegged beer beyond the Bavarian border.

The Moor's head, which since the year of 1300 has been an important part of the                           coat of arms of the von Tucher family, was incorporated in the brewery's trademark.                       In 1898, the continuous development of technology made it necessary to turn the                   Brewery into a stock corporation, due to the fact that only in this way the growing                       need for raising funds could be met.  Indeed, at that time the beer production reached                    the mark of approximately 260.000 hl, which for the time being, was a considerable quantity.

Tucher beers in barrels were exported to Scandinavia, England, France, Russia, North and South America, Africa, India, Japan and China.   

Tucher beers all over the world!
