In the Golden Twenties, Marie was the heart of the Hausbrendel brewery on Augsburg’s Jakobsplatz. With her blue eyes, her laughter, and her energetic manner, she soon became the town’s well-known innkeeper’s daughter—beautiful, intelligent, and always at the center of things.
The reputation of the extraordinary Marie reached as far as Zusmarshausen, where it aroused the interest of a young brewer named Konrad Schwarz. Curious, he set off – but initially ended up with the wrong sister. It wasn’t until his second visit that he finally saw her: Marie, standing in the middle of the brewery changing a light bulb. He jumped onto the table, helped her – and they fell in love at the same moment. Shortly afterwards, they got married – the brewer’s daughter and the brewer. And Marie became the landlady of the Zusmarshauser Braustüberl, where her story is still told today.

Grandson Leopold Schwarz has now brewed his own beer for her: Schwarzbräu “Marie Hausbrendel” – a declaration of love in liquid form. A beer for all those who appreciate real stories – and are happy to order a second one.
