Warsteiner Pilsener

Warsteiner is a premium German beer brand with a history dating back to 1753. The brand was founded in Warstein, Westphalia, by Antonius Cramer. Over the centuries, it has evolved from a small home-based brewery into one of the largest privately owned breweries in Germany, known for its flagship product, the Warsteiner Pilsener.

The manufacturing remains localized in Germany, primarily at the Warsteiner Brauerei Haus Cramer in Warstein. The brand remains under the control of the Cramer family, now in its ninth generation of ownership. The company maintains its position as an independent family business, which is a significant part of its brand identity and marketing strategy.
