Erdinger Weißbräu
A wheat-beer brewery in Erding is first mentioned in 1886; Franz Brombach bought it in 1935 and named it Erdinger Weißbräu in 1949. His son Werner Brombach took over in 1975, and in 1990 it became the first wheat-beer brewery to pass one million hectolitres; it says it is the largest wheat-beer brewery in the world and brews only in Erding. Werner Brombach put his shares into a family foundation in 2025 and died in August 2026, aged 86. Its Hefe-Weizen is a Weissbier, and Pikantus a dark Weizenbock.
