Producer Background
Paulaner traces its origins back to the monks of the Neudeck ob der Au Monastery, who first began brewing in Munich nearly 400 years ago. Named after Francis of Paola, the founder of the Minim friars, the brewery’s legacy is deeply rooted in religious and regional tradition. Over the centuries, Paulaner has grown into one of Germany’s largest and most respected breweries, famed for its commitment to Reinheitsgebot brewing purity and its deep association with Bavarian beer culture.
Paulaner’s Hefe-Weissbier is considered one of the finest wheat beers in the world—refreshing, hazy, and full of banana and clove notes. Their Hell lager is equally beloved, offering crisp drinkability and subtle sweetness that makes it a staple in Munich beer gardens and beyond. The brewery has remained dedicated to time-honoured brewing techniques while also embracing innovation to meet modern demand.
Today, Paulaner continues to represent the gold standard of German beer, producing millions of hectolitres annually while staying true to its heritage. TheCru.ie is proud to offer these classic German beer styles to customers in Ireland, whether you're stocking up for a celebration or simply exploring the best in traditional brewing.
