Producer Background
Warsteiner was established in 1753 by Antonius Cramer, whose family continued to grow the brewery into one of the largest privately owned breweries in Germany. Still owned and operated by the Cramer family today, Warsteiner has remained independent for over 260 years — a rare achievement in modern brewing. The brewery’s reputation is built on water sourced from the Arnsberg Forest, German-grown hops, and adherence to the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law), ensuring consistency and quality in every bottle.
Best known for its flagship Warsteiner Premium Verum, the brewery also produces Dunkel, non-alcoholic variants, and seasonal releases that reflect German brewing tradition with a modern edge. Their beers are cold-fermented and long-lagered to produce a crisp, smooth finish that’s easy to drink yet full of character. On TheCru.ie, Warsteiner stands proudly alongside world-class Belgian Beer and our ever-growing range of craft beer Ireland, offering an accessible yet authentic taste of one of Germany’s great brewing institutions.
