History
editIt was founded in 1887 by the brothers Eberhardt and Hans Maisel in the Upper Franconian city of Bayreuth.
In 1955, the brewery introduced Maisel's Weisse, a line of wheat beers for which they are best known.
In 2001, the Maisel family sold a 35% stake to Veltins, which was purchased back in December 2005, although the two breweries still cooperate on distribution.
