Founded in 1627, Hofbrauhaus Wolters is one of northern Germany's oldest breweries and the largest private brewery in Lower Saxony. The brewery strictly adheres to the German Purity Law, using water from the Harz mountain range, and is known for its award-winning Wolters Pilsener and Schwarzbier (Schwarzer Herzog). The Wolters family operated the brewery through six generations, and after a brief period under InBev (2003-2006), it returned to private ownership.
