Karlsberg beer

Karlsberg is a traditional German brewery founded in 1878 by Christian Weber in Homburg, Saarland. It is named after the nearby Karlsberg Castle. Unlike many large breweries that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Karlsberg remains one of the largest family-run breweries in Germany. It is currently under the leadership of Richard Weber, the great-grandson of the founder.

The brewery is a major regional player in southwestern Germany and is well-known for products like 'Karlsberg Ur-Pils' and the 'MiXery' range of beer-mixed drinks. For international markets, the brand is often sold under the name 'Karlsbräu' to avoid legal confusion with the Danish brewing giant Carlsberg, which has a phonetically similar name but no corporate relationship with the German company. Manufacturing is primarily concentrated at its historical site in Homburg, though the group also owns production facilities in France.
