Veltins Pilsener beer

Brauerei C. & A. Veltins is one of Germany's most prominent private breweries, deeply rooted in the brewing traditions of the Sauerland region. Established in 1824 in Grevenstein, the brewery has remained family-owned for five generations, evolving from a small local guesthouse brewery into a modern industrial powerhouse known for its high-quality premium pilsner.

All production takes place at the traditional site in Meschede-Grevenstein, where the brewery utilizes soft spring water from its own surrounding springs. This centralized manufacturing approach ensures that the brand maintains strict quality control over its entire portfolio, which includes Veltins Pilsener, the V+ beer mix range, Grevensteiner specialties, and Fassbrause soft drinks.

As of 2026, the company continues to operate as a fully independent private entity under the leadership of the Veltins family. Unlike many other major German beverage brands that have been acquired by international conglomerates, Veltins remains a bastion of private entrepreneurship in the German beer market, maintaining its headquarters and ownership within the same family that has guided its legacy for nearly two centuries.
