Brunonia Weizen (wheat beer) – has a special brewing composition: more than 50% wheat malt, other valuable special malts and white beer yeast. Everyone loves it for its fruity taste.

With the brand name and the design of the can we would like to  express the close historical connection of beer to our home town Braunschweig. Brunonia is the patron of Braunschweig and steers the horses and chariot of the quadriga. Brandenburg Gate statue – Built between 1788 and 1791 by Prussian King Frederick William II as a key entry point to the city of Berlin, Brandenburg Gate was topped off with a statue known as the “Quadriga,” which depicted a statue of the goddess of victory driving a chariot pulled by four horses.

Hofbraeuhaus Wolters – German brewing tradition since 1672.

Hofbrauhaus Wolters was founded in 1672. The company is one of northern Germany’s oldest breweries. Since its founding, the Wolters brewery has been dedicated to making beer that meets Germany high-quality requirements for the art of brewing. In recognition of the very high quality of all of the beers made by Hofbraeuhaus Wolters, in 1882 the Duke of Brunswick awarded the company the title of ‘Brewers of the Ducal Court’.

Today Hofbraeuhaus Wolters is one of the most modern breweries in northern Germany. The latest technologies, highly qualified brewers and the use of the very finest ingredients form the foundation for the high-quality standards Wolters products uphold. It goes without saying that Hofbraeuhaus Wolters crafts beers exclusively in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516, which is the country’s oldest food regulation. Wolters beers are brewed using secret, proprietary recipes. All of the ingredients come from Germany without exception, and are free of environmental pollution. The purest waters of the Harz are exclusively used for brewing. The Harz is the biggest mountain range in northern Germany. Water from the Harz is of the best quality, free of interfering minerals and optimally suited for producing extraordinary beers. No maize, rice, acids, other chemicals are allowed in our beer. Only Barley malt, natural water, hops and yeast. Hofbraeuhaus Wolters is the only brewery in northern Germany that uses this excellent water for beermaking.

All ingredients are subject to stringent quality control from their origin on down to their use in production. Hofbraeuhaus Wolters is certified in compliance with the rigorous IFS (international food standard) quality criteria. The quality and taste of Wolters products distinguish them as among Germany’s best beers. In its home region Wolters is by far the market leader, ahead of all its competitors.

German Purity Law

German purity law mention- The Reinheitsgebot (German pronunciation: [ˈʁaɪnhaɪtsɡəboːt], literally “purity order”), is a series of regulations limiting the ingredients in beer in Germany and the states of the former Holy Roman Empire. The best-known version of the law was adopted in Bavaria in 1516, but similar regulations predate the Bavarian order, and modern regulations also significantly differ from the 1516 Bavarian version.

Stamp issued in 1983 celebrating the history of the Reinheitsgebot, and also commemorating its 450th anniversary
