Franziskaner

Franziskaner is a brewery in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The roots can be traced back to 1363, however ownership changed hands until 1854 when the brewery moved to its current location. In 1867 it became the largest brewery in the city. Franziskaner beer was created in 1935 and its label (the monk Franziskaner) was designed by Ludwig Hohlwein. In 1964, the brewery produced its first wheat beer, and ten years later, the entire Franziskaner brewery became wheat-based. In 1984, the brewery began a national distribution of its beers. By 1998, it was ranked among the top 10 breweries in Germany.
