Berliner Pilsner

Berliner Pilsner is one of the most iconic beers from the German capital. Originally launched in 1963 in the former East Berlin, it was developed by the VEB Berliner-Kindl-Schultheiss-Brauerei. The brand is famous for its logo featuring a red bear (the symbol of Berlin) balancing three beer glasses on a tray, an image that has become synonymous with the city's brewing heritage.

Today, the beer is produced at the Berliner-Kindl-Schultheiss-Brauerei in Berlin-Alt-Hohenschönhausen. Since 2004, the brand has been part of the Radeberger Group, which is the largest private brewery group in Germany. The Radeberger Group is themselves a subsidiary of the Oetker Group (Dr. August Oetker KG), a massive family-owned conglomerate headquartered in Bielefeld, Germany, ensuring that while the brand has deep local roots, it is backed by international logistical expertise.
