The royal Bavarian beer brands
The holy trinity for beer enthusiasts around the globe
Elegant, distinctive & pure – truly bavarian
All of the royal Bavarian beer brands are part of the brand portfolio of König Ludwig International GmbH & Co. KG. They have their origins at Kaltenberg Castle, the birthplace and brewing site of the royal specialty beers and the family home of Prince Luitpold of Bavaria. All of the international licensed beers are brewed in strict accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516, using traditional, conservative methods, in line with the original recipes handed down generations of the Wittelsbach family.
The recipes have been refined over many centuries and are produced using brewing methods and specific ingredients which guarantee the best beer taste around. Wherever the beers are brewed, whether in Germany or at international production facilities, they are always subject to the strict
regulations of the Bavarian Purity Law.
The soul of our portfolio – kaltenberg
As the upholder of the Bavarian Purity Law, Prince Luitpold of Bavaria has made it his goal for the Kaltenberg brand to be nothing less than the best Bavarian lager has to offer. The Hefeweissbier elegantly rounds-off the umbrella brand portfolio.

All of this ensures an authentic Bavarian beer portfolio, which allows anyone in any culture to find his or her perfect beer, under the Kaltenberg umbrella brand. Sophisticated and refined brewing techniques, as well as family recipes, guarantee the very highest quality, something which has been recognized by numerous national and international prizes and awards.

royal bavarian beauty – König ludwig dunkel
König Ludwig Dunkel is Germany’s market leader in the more expensive dark beer segment. It was revitalised by Prince Luitpold of Bavaria after many decades of decline and turned into a Bavarian specialty beer.
König Ludwig Dunkel is Germany’s market leader in the upmarket dark beer segment. This is a credit to Prince Luitpold of Bavaria who revitalised this old Bavarian beer variety after many decades of decline and positioned it into a Bavarian speciality beer in the high-price segment.
König Ludwig Dunkel is produced in line with traditional Bavarian brewing methods in copper brewing vessels, drawing upon the age-old brewing experience of the House of Wittelsbach. The dark malt, which gives the beer its typical colour, is particularly carefully caramelised for this beer variety. Combined with the best aroma hops, the result is a light and sweet, yet pleasantly malty and substantial dark beer – the ultimate classic from the König Ludwig Schloßbrauerei Kaltenberg. As a licensed brand, König Ludwig Dunkel rounds-off the top premium segment.
