Our legacy began in Hannover, Germany in 1526 by our founder, Cord Broyhan. On a mission to create the purest and lightest beer Germans have ever tasted, Broyhan trademarked his recipe, branding every bottle with a “Broyhan Taylor” (rooster icon). In 1546, when other brewers copied his recipe, the town of Hannover created a guild (pronounced Gil-deh in German) to regulate the quality of the beer and the brewing techniques. Thus, the Gilde brand was born, a legacy in the making.

Our hometown of Hannover, Germany has a unique connection to Charlotte’s namesake, Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was also the electress and Queen of Hannover.
