In the beginning, the Riedenburger Brauhaus was a local brewery that was one of the first in Bavaria to produce wheat beers. Today they are an internationally successful brewery.
And eco!
A family with vision
In 1756 the Krieger family bought the brewery property in the city center of Riedenburg. For a long time they were one of the few breweries in Bavaria that brewed wheat beer. In and around Riedenburg, their Riedenburg wheat was well known and loved. When Michael Krieger, the current brewer of the Riedenburger Brauhaus, took over the brewery in 1970, things were not looking good for small, medium-sized breweries in the German brewery landscape. Many of his colleagues had to close their businesses due to the emerging industrial brewing industry. The competition simply became too great and many long-established breweries could not and did not want to keep up with the prices of cheap, mass-produced beer. Michael and his wife Martha didn't want to give up their business and came up with a good plan. In order to ensure the continued existence of their brewery, Michael and Martha decided to convert their production completely to organic. They were both pioneers and the first Bavarian brewery with a holistic eco-concept.
Organic revolutionaries, so to speak.
Eco – logical!
The brewery has been an organic business since 1989. The newly built brewery meets ecological criteria and includes, among other things, a well that originally produces pure brewing water that does not require any treatment. The electricity required is largely generated from the in-house photovoltaic system and the fleet is converted to run on rapeseed oil. What is most important for the end consumer, however, is the standard of the raw materials: All of the ingredients that go into the kettle in the Riedenburger Brauhaus come from organic farming and are of Bioland quality. In order to make beers such as Dolden Dark or Dolden Sud IPA even more natural and to treat the raw materials even more gently, the beers have not been filtered since 1997. In keeping with Bavaria's agricultural tradition, the Riedenburger Brauhaus promotes the cultivation of ancient grains such as einkorn or emmer. Consistent environmental protection and responsible use of resources has been a matter close to the Krieger family's heart for more than 150 years. The result is tasty beers such as the Dolden Hell or the extremely strong Dolden Bock .
We raise our glass to so much commitment and the excellent beer from the Riedenburger Brauhaus!
