6th generation (head) brewer


Explanation:
I'd add in 'generation' as it implies that he or she is the 6th consecutive member of their family to be the head brewer, whereas '6th brewer' just sound like the 6th person the company has had as their head brewer - a family connection isn't necessarily implied.

It's a subtle difference; I guess it just depends on whether you want or need to stress that the head brewer is part of the family.

Yes, Master/Head Brewer (to make it a title and capture David's intentions as well).
Still better, 6th generation Master Brewer includes all aspects.

don't forget that the ST says "Bräu" and not "Brauer/Bräuer"

look at "Als sechster Bräu" and I think it becomes clear that this is figurative = as 6th heir etc.

they don't say "Meisterbrauer" or anything of the sort so I would think about this aspect

neutral  Eleanore Strauss: yes ... avoid repetition, but heir doesn't express the capacity to brew.. brewing heir? Yes it is, but in this context it is also a matter of emphasis... not just heir but craftsman

(Brewery) Owner


Explanation:
6th Owner of the Brewery at [place]

Not sure you need to mention that someone had to die for him to get the title.

https://www.mittelbayerische.de/region/cham-nachrichten/der-...
„Der Bräu von Minsta“ ist tot
Mit Brauereibesitzer Alfons Hintereder wird am Donnerstag eine Institiution in Chammünster zu Grabe getragen.
... Nach dem Tod seines Vaters 1957 übernahm er den Betrieb und führte ihn bis zuletzt als Inhaber und Eigentümer, insgesamt 55 Jahre war er also „da Brai vo Minsta“.

David should get more credit. The guy is figuratively the brewery.

A news article in English calls the 4. Bräu von [Name of place], [Name of brewery] Owner/Brewer (yes, capitalized). They also say "4th generation owners."

Another suggestion:
Title: 6th "Brewer of _"
Otherwise: owner, current owner, etc.

Another example. "His" beer I drank in the US.
https://www.openpr.de/news/383485/ERDINGER-Inhaber-Werner-Br...
Erding, 29.12.2009 Werner Brombach, der „Bräu von Erding“ und Inhaber der größten bayerischen Privatbrauerei, feiert heute seinen 70. Geburtstag. Seit über drei Jahrzehnten gehört er zu den prägenden Persönlichkeiten in der deutschen Brauereilandschaft. Als der Diplom-Braumeister 1975 die Nachfolge seines Vaters antrat, war Weißbier (für Nicht-Bayern: Weizenbier) außerhalb des Freistaates weitgehend unbekannt. Das änderte sich, nachdem Werner Brombach als erster Weißbierbrauer neue Märkte in Baden-Württemberg, Hamburg und Nordrhein-Westfalen erschloss und die bayeri-sche Spezialität auch den „Preußen“ schmackhaft machte.

Under Brombach's signature: Inhaber der Privatbrauerei ERDINGER Weißbräu

Unfortunately, Brewkeeper is not a thing. Master of the Brew? I'm not sure how creative your title should be, but I recommend making the job title, job role, and certification clearly distinct.

neutral  Edith Kelly: ein "Bräu" ist ein Brauer, da es sich um den Brauer der 6. Gen. handelt, sollte das Wort unbedingt da sein. Of es tatsächlich der Master Brewer ist, bleibt dahingestellt, dazu müsste man den Namen kennen.
