Karlsberg
is one of the largest breweries in Germany. It is called
Karlsbräu
outside of Germany to differentiate it from the Danish brewing company Carlsberg. Established 1878 in the city of Homburg, Saarland (then part of Bavaria), the brewery was named after the nearby hill and castle (the castle was built in 1755 and later destroyed by french revolutionary troops). Karlsberg's ownership has been handed down through generations. The current owner, Richard Weber, is the great grandson of the brewery‘s founder. The Karlsberg Group also owns and distributes other beer brands, among them
Königsbacher
in Koblenz and the french brewery
Brasserie de Saverne
. The juice producers
Merziger
,
Klindworth
and
Niehoffs Vaihinger
belong to the company. In 2001 Karlsberg acquired controlling interest in the
Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach
company from Nestlé, including Afri-Cola and the mineral water brands
Staatlich Fachingen
and
Hirschquelle
out of the Black Forest. Alcohol-free drinks today make up more than 50% of the company‘s turnover (of 691 Million Euros in the fiscal year 2004/05).
This is an extremely nice pin. Scan did not do it justice
