Altenburger

The name Altenburger has always stood for quality. But there is more to it than that: the team at the Altenburger brewery has not only committed itself to outstanding quality with this name, but also promises to always give their best.

Beer: enjoyment and responsibility

The beer from Altenburg is down-to-earth, honest and independent. The small family business is not owned by a large corporation, but has the reins in its own hands. The family is committed to its region and its people with great commitment and responsibility: the team employs more than 50 people, and the Altenburger brewery is also a training company and trains young people with passion and enthusiasm. But the commitment to the region goes beyond that: the raw materials needed for brewing are also sourced from farmers in the area. Beer with responsibility and passion is the brewery's motto. The beer that comes out of it is also impressive: the brewery's brewed products have already received many awards and not only impress the judges of international competitions.

With courage through the crisis

Good beer has been brewed in Altenburg for quite a long time. The original Altenburg brewery was founded in 1871 and already had a respectable output at that time. The good beer flows in streams and in 1914 the Altenburger brewery is considered the brewery with the highest output in Thuringia. At the end of the 20th century the brewery faces a major crisis: the first modern beers appear on the market and outstrip their traditional, hand-brewed counterparts. But the Altenburger team does not give up. A Franconian brewing family takes over the business with new impetus and passion and brings a breath of fresh air to the hallowed halls of the brewery. Modernization measures are taken with care and caution, but the heart and basic principles of the Altenburger brewery remain untouched. Today the company has regained its secure position and supplies not only the region with its outstanding beer. The name Altenburger once again stands for delicious beer with passion and tradition.
