Frankfurter Brauhaus GmbH

Across the Lebuser Chaussee, the Frankfurter Brauhaus GmbH stands as a testament to Frankfurt (Oder)’s brewing heritage. This isn’t just any brewery. It’s the only major brewery in Brandenburg, a title it wears with pride. Frankfurter Brauhaus GmbH boasts a lineage stretching back over 600 years, to a time when Carthusian monks perfected their brewing skills in the Guben suburb. Imagine, in 1396, these monks meticulously blending water, malt, and hops, following ancient recipes to create their unique brews. Frankfurt (Oder) was once a bustling hub of brewing activity. Before 1939, the city counted 27 breweries within its walls. Sadly, this vibrant industry was interrupted in 1945 with the destruction of the Frankfurter Ostquell-Brauerei AG. This was the largest brewery in Frankfurt at the time. The brewing tradition was revived in 1988 with the opening of the Oderland-Brauerei. This brewery eventually became the Frankfurter Brauhaus GmbH we see today. Today, Frankfurter Brauhaus GmbH produces a staggering 3,500,000 hectoliters of beer annually. While it brews for many German discounters and other companies, Frankfurter Brauhaus GmbH also proudly crafts its own distinct brands. You might recognize names like Spitzkrug, named after the Frankfurt district where the brewery resides. Or perhaps Pilsator, another popular choice. And for those seeking a true taste of the region, there’s Frankfurter, a brand that proudly proclaims its Brandenburg roots. The Frankfurter Brauhaus GmbH is more than just a brewery. It is a symbol of resilience and a tribute to Frankfurt (Oder)’s rich brewing history. It stands as a reminder of the dedicated monks who laid the foundation for this thriving industry centuries ago. The brewery carries the torch of tradition, crafting beers that resonate with the local community and beyond.
