In the Roaring Twenties, Marie was the heart of the Hausbrendel brewery on Jakobsplatz in Augsburg. With her blue eyes, her laugh and her hands-on manner, she soon became the town’s well-known landlady’s daughter – beautiful, clever and always in the thick of the action. 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 was only on his second visit that he finally saw her: Marie, standing in the middle of the brewery changing a light bulb. He jumped up on 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 her own beer: 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.
