Georg Pschorr (1798-1867) was a well-known entrepreneur in Munich and the patriarch of the Pschorr brewing dynasty. He inherited the brewery from his father Josef Pschorr (1770-1841). Georg nurtured his father’s brewery and planted the seeds for growth to create what Hacker-Pschorr is today. Weisse Dark was his creation and proudly bears his name and image on the label. Georg was not only a member of the business community in Munich but contributed highly to the art and music scene. His grandson Richard Strauss is the most celebrated composer of Munich.
