History
- 1877
On December 1, master brewer Julius Feierling founds the Inselbrauerei Julius Feierling with a restaurant at the 'Zur Insel' estate; the first pale beer in Freiburg is brewed there.
- 1882
The brewery moves to Grünwälderstraße on Augustinerplatz; the original headquarters remains as a restaurant on Gerberau.
- 1981
Closure of the production operation due to impaired water quality (construction of the underground car park beneath Augustinerplatz) and delivery traffic in the pedestrian zone; production and delivery rights pass to the Ganter brewery.
- 1989
Refounding as Hausbrauerei Feierling by certified master brewer Martina Feierling and graduate economist Wolfgang Rombach at Gerberau 46, opposite the original location.
- 2021
Julius Feierling-Rombach joins the management; modernization of the brewing system, renewal of the IT infrastructure and introduction of a new point-of-sale system including card payment.
