Josef BINDER, Chief Brewmaster, Pilsner Urquell (1879-1900), PLZEN :
Binder learnt to brew in his hometown of Kreuzberg by Bavarian Freiung and gained further experience in breweries in Munich, Passau and Linz. He went to Plzen at the invitation of Jakub Blöchl when he was 26, and got the job of boiler in the brewery in 1863, being promoted to senior boiler in 1866. He then worked as a cellarman before becoming a brewer’s assistant in 1868. He became junior brewer in 1871 and retained that position for eight years, eventually substituting for chief brewer Jakub Blöchl during spells of illness. He was appointed to brewer in February 1879 and was soon promoted to the chief brewer of the Burghers’ Brewery. He was very successful in the position; during this time the Burghers’ Brewery in Plzen was awarded number of prizes at both domestic and international exhibitions and trade fairs, and the beer production increased by 100%. He also oversaw the introduction of electric light and heating, which gradually replaced gas from 1881 – the project was finally completed in 1896. In 1885, Skoda Engineering-built artificial cooling technology was installed at the brewery, eventually replacing the practice of using blocks of ice to cool the fermentation cellars. He was said to be a strict but fair boss who trained many experts to later become successful brewers themselves. After his tenure as brewmaster he became technical director and his total time spent at the brewery was 37 years. He died in March 1900 after a long illness.
