Brauerei C. & A. Veltins
Brauerei C. & A. Veltins brews in Grevenstein, a village belonging to Meschede in the Sauerland hills. Innkeeper Franz Kramer began brewing commercially here in 1824; Clemens Veltins took over the small brewery in 1852 and built a new brewhouse at the edge of the village in 1883. His twin sons Carl and Anton gave the company its name in 1893. From the late 1920s it concentrated on a single Pilsener, later adding the Grevensteiner specialties, the Pülleken hell beer and a Helles Lager. The brewery is still family-owned and draws on soft local spring water.
