Franziskaner Weissbier

Franziskaner is one of the most storied names in German brewing history, with roots tracing back to 1363 in Munich. The brand takes its name from the Franciscan monastery located near the original brewery site. For centuries, the brand has been synonymous with the Bavarian wheat beer tradition, specifically its 'Naturtrüb' (naturally cloudy) 스타일 that remains a global benchmark for the category.

While the brand maintains its deep cultural connection to Munich and continues to be brewed in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law) in Germany, its ownership has transitioned from a family-run heritage to being part of a global beverage conglomerate. Today, it is part of the Spaten-Franziskaner-Löwenbräu group, which is a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewing company. Despite this global ownership, production is concentrated in Germany to maintain the authenticity and quality standards associated with the Bavarian brewing tradition.
