The Hasseröder brewery started in 1872 under the name “Zum Auerhahn” in the district of Hasserode in Wernigerode. In 1882 Ernst Schreyer assumed control of the brewery. In 1896 the brewery became an Aktiengesellschaft or AG and in the same year put out 25000 hectoliters of beer. Today the brewery is now a “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung” or GmbH (Ltd) owned by Anheuser–Busch InBev. Hasseröder ranks number 6 among Germany’s best selling breweries.[citation needed]
