The story

The origin of the current Mohrenbrauerei is the in "Zum Mohren", licensed to the owner of the inn and brewery Josef Mohr. The oldest found documentation on the new name "Mohrenwirt" dates back to 1784. In 1834, the catering and brewery business was transferred to the Huber family.

Franz Anton Huber, trader and locksmith in Dornbirn-Markt, bought the inn including the estate and associated brewery in 1834 from a farmer from Hohenems. The brewery has been family-owned since that day.

At the turn of the century, an amount 30,000 hl of beer per year has been produced under the East Silesian master brewer Anton Decker.

The end of World War II and declining demand had to stop production eventually. The brewery was temporarily converted into barracks and hosted Moroccan soldiers. The Mohrenbrauerei only recovered from this around 1951.

In 2012, the beverage production amounted to 222,911 hl per year, which sank to 180,000 in 2019.
