SCHNEIDER

The history of wheat beer is also the history of the Schneider brewing family and its famous Schneider Weisse. Georg I. Schneider acquired the rights to boil wheat beer from King Ludwig II in 1872. The Georg Schneider brewery family did however suffer a terrible stroke of fate in 1944: The Munich brewery fell victim to the bombing. As a result the entire production was relocated to the intact brewery in Kelheim. There, Georg V. Schneider continued to press ahead with the modernization and expansion of the brewery, of course always holding true to decades-old tradition. Today Georg VI. Schneider the businessman and brewer has been working in the brewery since 1982 and will run the family business in the future.
