The most authentic beer story in the world

from the inventors of modern beer

The Royal Bavarian Beer Brands are based on a beer tradition that dates back to the 11th century. With the enactment of the Bavarian Purity Law in 1516 by Duke Wilhelm IV, the Wittelsbach family can confidently be called the inventors of modern beer. Even today, Breweries in all parts of the world brew according to these rules.
