Paulaner

Paulaner is a Munich brewery brand whose history the company traces back to 1634, when the monks of the Neudeck ob der Au monastery in Munich brewed a strong beer, the Paulaner Salvator. Today the Paulaner Brauerei Gruppe GmbH & Co. KGaA has its headquarters in Munich and exports its beers to more than 80 countries, according to the company.

Brands and range

• Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier and alcohol-free wheat beer (Weissbier 0,0%)
• Münchner Hell and Oktoberfest Bier
• Salvator, the strong beer with a monastic origin
• The group also includes Hacker-Pschorr in Munich and 14 breweries in total

Ownership

The group is a joint venture of two companies: the Schörghuber Group (70 percent) and the Dutch brewer Heineken (30 percent). Both owners are European, so there is no non-European parent company.
