Brewing excellence in Mannheim since 1679

Eichbaum is one of the oldest breweries in southern Germany, with roots stretching back to 1679. Located in Mannheim in the Rhine-Neckar region, it has grown into one of the country’s most established and efficient private breweries. From day one, Eichbaum has combined traditional German brewing values with a clear focus on quality and consistency.

The brewery’s name — meaning “oak tree” — is a symbol of strength and endurance. Still based on its original site, Eichbaum remains a familiar presence in Mannheim, with a long-standing role in the city’s cultural and industrial identity.

“Beer is our craft”

At Eichbaum, brewing is both a tradition and a discipline. Every beer is made using German-grown malted barley, carefully selected hops, and water drawn from the local region. Fermented with precision and brewed under the Reinheitsgebot, Eichbaum’s range showcases clarity, balance, and drinkability.

Whether producing a classic Pilsner, a full-bodied Export, or a smooth Hefeweizen, the brewery’s focus is on reliable, satisfying beer — brewed with care and attention to every stage of the process.

“Brewing tradition meets modern capability”

From a regional brewery to a major independent producer, Eichbaum has expanded while remaining privately owned and locally rooted. Today, it operates one of the most modern brewing facilities in Europe, with the capacity to handle both domestic demand and global export.

Its skilled team and state-of-the-art technology allow for exceptional consistency across a wide portfolio, including Eichbaum's own brands as well as contract and private-label beers for partners around the world.

“Committed to quality — for over 340 years”

Eichbaum’s success lies in its ability to balance history with progress. With over three centuries of brewing behind it, the brewery continues to respect the principles that built its reputation: use of quality raw materials, technical precision, and a deep understanding of what makes a beer dependable and enjoyable.

From Mannheim to the wider world, Eichbaum stands for reliable German brewing — rooted in tradition, prepared for the future.
