His love for German lagers untapped a side to beer he had never tasted before, and now he’s the Brewmaster for Hofbräuhaus Chicago. Kismet? We think so. When Hunter left the Air Force he went to college back home in Arkansas. He began home brewing in an attempt to relive the flavors he experienced while in Europe. As soon as an opportunity arose after college, he went to work for a local brewery. His first job was in the packaging department at the Bohannon Brewing Co. in Nashville. He worked up through the cellar, and eventually made his way to the brewhouse. From there Hunter started the Prairie Rock Brewing Company in Elgin, and later Schaumburg. He served as their brewmaster for seven years before leaving Prairie Rock to join the Emmett’s Brewing Co. There he served as 4 their Head Brewer for eight years before being promoted to Brewmaster. He took over as brewmaster for Hofbräuhaus Chicago in December and we couldn’t be happier. “I am thrilled to be here making the beers that I love most in one of the most advanced breweries anywhere,” says Hunter. “I feel very honored that I have been chosen to carry on over 400 years of proud German brewing tradition.” Cellerman: Hayes Cooper Cellerman Hayes Cooper’s passion for brewing began before he could even legally drink it-much less make it. He watched his cousin brew a batch of beer during a family visit to Ohio, and was immediately hooked. In college while his classmates were busy drinking beer, Cooper was busy brewing it from an apartment rooftop with a friend. After earning his B.S. in Biology from Aurora University, he landed a job at a small brewery in Indianapolis where he learned the ins and outs of how to operate a brewery. His experience led him to Hofbräuhaus Chicago where he gets to help create the world’s greatest beer. Cooper has been brewing for five years now (legally!), and feels fortunate to work in a place with as much tradition as Hofbräuhaus Chicago. “Working in a brewery is a learning experience and there are always new challenges,” says Cooper. “But at the end of the day there is always the reward of creating fine quality brews for all to enjoy.” We are proud to have Rob Hunter and Hayes Cooper as part of our team. Prost! HOFBRAUHAUSCHICAGO.COM TWO SHADES OF BREW BRAUNBIER DARK WHEAT March is the month that has you seeing green, but at Hofbräuhaus Chicago, we’re going brown in honor of our seasonal Braunbier. In case you couldn’t guess, Braunbier translates to Brown Beer, and is the original brew of Hofbräuhaus Munich. It was the only beer produced when brewing began back in 1591 and as you can imagine malting technology wasn’t what it is today. The primitive technique of drying the malt over an open fire always burned and caramelized some of the malt which resulted in a brown-hued beer. Brown Beer also had to be kept cold to prevent spoilage so it became a lager beer by default. Due to it being kept cold it could only be brewed between September and April, thus was also known as Winter Beer. Today Braunbier is re-created with malts that were intentionally roasted and caramelized. Thanks to modern refrigeration we can brew the Braunbier any time of year, but it is traditionally brewed between St. Michael’s Day (September 29) and St. George’s Day (April 23). Everything has a dark side and our beer is no exception. April’s flavor is Dark Wheat and it’s the dark version of our wheat beer, the Hefe Weizen. Like the Weizen, you’ll notice notes of clove, vanilla and banana, but since it’s a top-fermenting ale, and is served unfiltered, it has a distinctive cloudy appearance. The dark color comes from speciallykilned malts, which also give Dark Wheat a slightly fuller flavor than its pale counterpart. Did you know the oldest evidence of beer-making in central Europe relates to Dark Wheat? In 1935, the grave of a wealthy Celtic tribesman who died around 800 BC was unearthed in northern Bavaria. Among other artifacts, archaeologists discovered an elegant vase that contained dried traces of a black beer made from wheat. Test out your darker side, only at Hofbräuhaus Chicago. Try these seasonal brews, today! 5 HOFBRÄUHAUS CHICAGO LIVE ENTERTAINMENT ORIG.

On Friday, January 24th we welcomed a thirsty crowd to our Haus for brews, food, live entertainment and an appearance by a surprise keg tapper. Or shall we say tappers. We had not one, not two, not three, but four special guests tap the keg of Dunkel Gold. Hofbräuhaus Chicago owners Ted Wynn, Joe and Mike Matuschka, and President of Hofbräuhaus of America, Fred Schumacher, took a celebratory swing at the keg and let the flavor flow. Along with authentic German revelry, our first 500 guests were also treated to a free steinshaped bottle opener, and one lucky couple won a trip to Munich, Germany! As part of the celebration we gave a trip for two away to the site of the original Hofbräuhaus; Hans and Kathy Wolf walked away winners. Thank you to everyone who joined us throughout the year and to those who will come through our doors tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and the…well, we think you get it.

World-famous brews may be the drink of choice at Hofbräuhaus Chicago, but look around our lively beer hall and something other than our signature steins may catch your eye. When shots of spirits are more your style, we like to serve them in a way as unique as we are — in a handmade wooden paddle. Holding up to twelve shots, these paddles were originally designed to allow servers to deliver multiple shots across the long wooden tables found in many beer halls and taverns. At Hofbräuhaus Chicago; however, our paddles pull double duty. Some 12 patrons are served and spanked with it. Whether you’d like to sip or get spanked, your server is always happy to oblige.
