Schneider Weiss Alkoholfrei

Dating back to the 1870s Brauerei G. Schneider & Sohn are still family owned to date. Surprisingly given the level of destruction, most German breweries survived the second world war. However this wasn't the case for Schneider who were quite literally bombed out of their premises in Munich. It was the occupying American forces who assured their subsequent resurrection granting a licence for the brewery to continue - with significant strings attached however. It was stipulated that all beers should be brewed to a lower strength and could only be sold to military personnel within the district of Munich.

They're now a household name throughout Germany and aborad with a well established export market. In the early 2000s they moved to a new brewery in the town of Kelheim on the banks of Danube. Their entire range is top-fermented wheat beers and watch out for their special Aventinus which is fully bottle conditioned.
