Listen to the story that begins in the year 1872, When Georg Schneider I together with his son decided to make a bold move. They bought “Weisses Bräuhaus” from the court of King Ludwig II himself. This was not simply a business deal, but a resounding historical turning point, breaking the monopoly barrier. At that time, that delicious wheat beer (Weizenbier) was reserved only for the Bavarian Royal Family. But from that moment on, this heavenly taste was privatized, opening a new era for commercial wheat beer, so that everyone could touch their lips to the drink that was once the privilege of kings.

By year 1907, the story continues to write new pages. The desire to reach far has brought the heirs - Georg Schneider III and IV – to the ancient town of Kelheim on the poetic Danube River. Here, they found space for their big dream. And so, over a century, that factory became the headquarters, the never-stopping heart of Schneider Weisse. Their title of “Master of Wheat Beer” is not a coincidence, but the crystallization of seven generations of a family persistently preserving the purest soul of beer.
