Brauhaus Riegele Augustus is a premium Weizen Doppelbock, representing the pinnacle of brewing excellence from the historical brewing city of Augsburg, Germany. This specific beer, named 'Augustus,' pays homage to the founder of Augsburg, Caesar Augustus, and is known for its high alcohol content (8%) and complex, fruity, and strong ('Fruchtig & Stark') flavor profile. It is brewed using historic yeast strains and a significant amount of wheat malt, resulting in its characteristic top-fermented robustness.

The Riegele brewery remains one of the few large-scale independent breweries in Germany that has resisted consolidation into global conglomerates. Established in 1386, the brewery has been owned and operated by the Priller family for generations. Their manufacturing process is strictly localized in Augsburg, adhering to the Bavarian Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) and utilizing traditional brewing techniques passed down through centuries. The brand is a symbol of regional craftsmanship and is a leading name in the German 'Craft Beer' movement, frequently winning international brewing awards.
