**Ownership:** Brombach family (3rd generation) — Erding, Bavaria, founded 1886

**Known for:** Germany's largest dedicated wheat-beer brewery and the world's biggest-selling Hefeweizen. Family-owned, Reinheitsgebot-compliant, and the clean choice for German wheat beer.

**History:** Founded in Erding, Bavaria in 1886; family-owned since 1949. Erdinger became the world's largest wheat-beer specialist by doing one thing exceptionally well — a traditional, naturally cloudy Bavarian Hefeweizen brewed strictly to the Reinheitsgebot. The family has resisted the temptation to diversify away from wheat beer or sell to a conglomerate. A model of focused, independent German brewing at scale.
