Radeberger Pilsner

Radeberger Pilsner holds a prestigious place in brewing history as the first brewery in Germany to exclusively brew a German-style Pilsner. Established in 1872 in Radeberg, near Dresden, the brand quickly rose to prominence, becoming the official drink of King Friedrich August III of Saxony. The beer is renowned for its full-bodied flavor, distinct hop bitterness, and the use of soft water from the brewery's own wells, adhering strictly to the German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot).

Unlike many global beer brands that license production to various international facilities, Radeberger Pilsner is uniquely brewed and bottled only at its original site in Radeberg, Germany. This central production model ensures that the quality and flavor profile remain consistent across all global markets. Today, the brand serves as the flagship product of the Radeberger Gruppe, the largest private brewery group in Germany.

The ultimate ownership of Radeberger lies with the Oetker Group (Dr. August Oetker KG), a multi-generational family-owned conglomerate headquartered in Bielefeld. The Radeberger Gruppe operates as a major division of the Oetker Group, managing an extensive portfolio of beverage brands. This stable ownership structure has allowed Radeberger to maintain its traditional brewing methods while expanding its availability to connoisseurs worldwide.
