Kneitinger Festbier
Kneitinger Festbier is the festival beer from the Regensburg brewery whose existence on Arnulfsplatz was first documented in 1590. Today the brewery is run by the Hans und Sofie Kneitinger Stiftung, set up in 1985 by Sofie Kneitinger. Its income comes largely from the brewery and supports the Kinderheim St. Leonhard and the Bürgerheim Kumpfmühl in alternating years.
