Adolf BAYER - Chief Brewmaster at Pilsner Urquell (1900-1929), PLZEN :
The son of a brewer, Adolf Bayer was born in Dobrany (1859-3-23), near Plzen, where he learnt the brewing trade. He worked in two further breweries before moving to Plzen in 1887 as a junior brewer. Hee became brewmaster after his predecessor's (Josef BINDER) death. He was heavily involved in many brewing organisations in the region and from 1911 served as the Chairman of the Czech Brewing Industry Society. Bayer's time coincided with the construction of one of the defining features of the brewery: the Water Tower. Built by Eduard Kroh, it took two years to complete and was opened in 1907. It was also under Bayer that the brewery surpassed the 1 million hectoliters per year mark in 1913. He spent a total of 42 years at the brewery and, even with ailing health, was still working at the age of 70; he died (1929-3-30) after a short illness and we're told that right to the end he was receiving and sending messages about brewery operations \endash a true brewmaster.
Jarmila BAYEROVA-Jandurova-Voleska-Kordova (*1909, mother of BV-II) remebered her sevral-day visit to the Bayers in the Urquell brewery where they lived.on the premises. Then she was a girl of 10-11 years old (1919~1920).
