1. The Beer of German Dreams: From Legendary Binding to Pioneering Clausthaler

There is a smooth, malty stream of history flowing from the heart of Germany to the world. It is the story of Binding-Brauerei AG – a name that has been a symbol of Frankfurt since ancient times. In 1870, when Conrad Binding and Conrad Adolf Schäfer dreamed of brewing for an entire city, they probably could not have imagined that their brand would reach so far. That dream grew over time, taking shape in 1879 with the acquisition of the “Zum Frankfurter Hof” brewery, like a door opening to a bright future. Through many ups and downs, Binding remained steadfast, and finally, joined the great flow of the Radeberger Group and Dr. Oetker, becoming an indispensable part of the German culinary soul.

The secret lies in the special fermentation technology - a miracle that helps limit alcohol from the very beginning, to fully retain the pure soul of beer.
