The world-wide fame of Bavarian beer is directly attributable to the House of Wittelsbach, the family of His Royal Highness Prince Luitpold of Bavaria.

It was in 1516 that Duke Wilhelm IV issued the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot or Purity Law - which is still valid today. Prince Luitpold is thus continuing a long-standing family tradition.

200 years of experience gained through the wheat beer monopoly held by the Wittelsbach family also means that König Ludwig Weissbier is truly a "Beer of Royal Highness".

The König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg today feels more than ever connected to this centuries-long tradition - and brews its four varieties of König Ludwig Weissbier - Hefe Weissbier in both Hell and Dunkel types and Light and Kristall sorts - with the greatest possible care.
