The Privatbrauerei Erdinger Weißbräu Werner Brombach GmbH (also known as Erdinger Weißbräu)

is a brewery in Erding, Germany. Its best-known products are its namesake Weißbiers (white beer).

Erdinger Weißbier bottle and glass

Erdinger calls itself the world's largest wheat beer brewery. It is widely available and popular across

Germany and the European Union. Erdinger was founded in 1886 by Johann Kienle. Erdinger beer

is the best-known culinary product of the city. However the brewery did not receive its current name

until 1949 from its owner Franz Brombach, who had acquired the brewery 14 years earlier. The current

owner is Franz Brombach's son, Werner Brombach (from 1975). Currently, there are nine varieties available:

Weißbier - a golden cloudy beer (alc 5.3%, white/cream label, pictured)
Dunkel- a dark brown type (alc 5.6%, black label)
Kristallklar (crystal clear) - a filtered Weißbier (alc 5.3%, silver label)
Pikantus (picaanthus) - a dark weizenbock beer (alc 7.3%)
Leicht (light) - a light beer (alc 2.9%)
Schneeweiße (snow-white) - a seasonal beer brewed from November to February (alc 5.6%)
Erdinger Champ - a wheat beer that can be drunk straight from the bottle (alc 4.7%)
Alkoholfrei (alcohol free) - an alcohol free version (alc 0.4%, blue label)
Festbier (festive beer) - a seasonal brew for Erding's Herbstfestes (autumn festival, also known as Volksfest)

In 2004, as part of their Oktoberfest celebration Bier Market in Toronto, Ontario was the first

Canadian location to offer Erdinger. Erdinger has since become available in LCBO (Liquor Control

Board of Ontario) stores throughout the province.
