The Leikeim brewery is an institution in Franconia and stands for local beer with Franconian character and a whole lot of flavor.

Five generations of beer knowledge

With Andreas and Ulrich Leikeim, the family is now in the fifth generation at the helm of the brewery. But the Leikeims are not only responsible for running the company, they have their fingers in everything: from the selection of hand-picked ingredients to the brewing process and bottling in the ever-popular swing-top bottle, the Leikeim family values transparency and ensures excellence at every step. The brewery's forefather is Johann Leikeim. The master butcher and innkeeper founded the brewery in 1887 and supplied Altenkunstadt and the surrounding area with excellent beer. His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren gradually followed in his footsteps and ensure that his dream continues with commitment and passion.

From franc for franc

The beer from Leikeim prides itself on its genuine Franconian character: As native Franconians, the members of the Leikeim family know what a Franconian beer should taste like and always maintain this standard. A sip of their beer should give beer lovers a feeling of home, no matter where they are. But the philosophy of the family business is more than that. As a company with a history spanning almost 135 years, tradition is a factor that needs to be cultivated and lived. The Leikeims are proud of their family tradition and the long brewing history. This wealth of experience and the passion that is passed on from generation to generation are the basis of the family business. A common goal unites them. The Leikeims are also committed to uncompromising brewing: There are no compromises when it comes to the taste and quality of the raw materials, which is why the family attaches great importance to local ingredients and social commitment. The Leikeims are passionate and enthusiastic about protecting the environment. Resources are used sustainably and raw materials are obtained from regional farmers wherever possible. Leikeim supports the cultural life of her homeland with social commitment and financial support in the area of sport.

Leikeim is a holistic family business that produces excellent beers and is happy to support Franconia.
