Hacker-Pschorr Brau Munchen - Beer Coaster

This is a beer coaster for Hacker-Pschorr Brau Munchen. - 4 1/4" diameter
Hacker-Pschorr is a brewery in Munich formed in 1972 out of the merger of two breweries, Hacker and Pschorr, but the beers were sold as separate brands well after 1975. - Hacker was founded in 1417; when Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria was to celebrate his wedding in Munich in 1810, he decided it was an occasion for all of Bavaria to celebrate. He commissioned Josef Pschorr, then the brewmaster of the Hacker-Pschorr brewery, among other Munich brewers, to develop special brews to commemorate the occasion. Subsequent annual celebrations evolved into the city of Munich’s Oktoberfest which is attended by over six million people each year. By Munich law, only the six breweries within the city limits of Munich are invited to serve their beer at Oktoberfest. Hacker-Pschorr is one of the six, as is its sister brand, Paulaner. Today’s event is held on land donated by Josef Pschorr.
