About the Brewery
Erdinger Weissbräu was founded in 1886 in the Bavarian town of Erding and has grown into the world’s largest wheat beer brewery. Family-owned and proudly independent, Erdinger is synonymous with quality, consistency, and authenticity. Its range of wheat beers is exported across the globe, but each brew remains true to traditional German brewing values.

This careful balance of tradition and innovation has made Erdinger a household name in German beer and a trusted brand for lovers of wheat beer worldwide.
