Schneider Weisse is one of Germany’s most renowned and oldest wheat beer breweries, with roots deeply embedded in the Bavarian brewing tradition. Schneider Weisse beer comes from Bavaria, a region known worldwide for its rich beer culture and brewing tradition. To be more precise, Schneider Weisse originates from the town of Kelheim, which is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Danube. This is where the brewery behind the famous Schneider Weisse beers is located: Schneider Weisse G. Schneider & Sohn.
The history of Schneider Weisse began in 1872, when Georg I. Schneider, a visionary master brewer and pioneer of wheat beer, acquired the royal wheat beer brewery from King Ludwig II of Bavaria. This historic moment marked the start of a new era for wheat beer in Bavaria, as Schneider Weisse became the first brewery in Bavaria to be granted the right to brew and sell wheat beer. Since then, Schneider Weisse has been inextricably linked to the history and culture of Bavaria and has become an icon of the art of wheat beer brewing.
Over the decades, Schneider Weisse has distinguished itself through the production of top-quality wheat beers and through innovation within this beer style. The brewery places great emphasis on traditional brewing methods, whilst at the same time exploring new flavours and brewing techniques. The Schneider Weisse range comprises a variety of wheat beers, from classic Hefeweizen and dark wheat beers to creative interpretations that reflect the characteristic flavour of Schneider Weisse.
The Schneider Weisse G. Schneider & Sohn brewery is not only renowned for its outstanding beers, but also for its commitment to sustainability and regional responsibility. The use of local ingredients, the protection of natural resources and the support of the local community are core values that the brewery upholds in its day-to-day operations.
