Schneider Weisse traces back to 1872, when Georg I. Schneider and his son took over the Weisses Brauhaus in Munich and he became the first commoner licensed to brew wheat beer. After the Munich brewery was destroyed in 1944, production moved entirely to Kelheim on the Danube, where the family had been brewing since the late 1920s. The house makes almost exclusively top-fermented wheat beers, open-fermented and bottle-conditioned, numbered TAP1 to TAP11. Georg VII. Schneider has led the family business since 2025, and from 2027 it is set to take over the Bischofshof and Weltenburger brands.
