Producer Background
Founded in 1886 in the town of Erding, just outside Munich, Erdinger Weissbräu has become the largest wheat beer brewery in the world – and for good reason. Remaining proudly independent since its founding, Erdinger has built its reputation on brewing exceptional Hefeweizens that follow the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516. Their dedication to time-honoured methods, cold bottle fermentation, and natural ingredients ensures a final product that is smooth, balanced, and unmistakably German.
The brewery has continually innovated while staying true to its heritage, offering seasonal specials and alcohol-free versions alongside their core lineup. From the fruity, spicy notes of the classic Erdinger Weissbier to the richer, maltier tones of Erdinger Dunkel, each beer is crafted with care and character. The brewery’s global success has done much to popularise wheat beer around the world, with Erdinger now a household name in over 90 countries. Whether enjoyed at Oktoberfest-style gatherings or as a go-to fridge staple, Erdinger represents a perfect blend of tradition and accessibility.
