The Bitburger Brewery - A beer tradition since 1817
Founded in 1817 by Johann Peter Wallenborn, the Bitburger Brewery's journey began as a small country brewery in the idyllic Eifel. Today, run by the seventh generation of the family, this company is one of the most renowned private breweries in Germany. The Bitburger brand stands for products of the highest quality. The great success began with the introduction of the "Original Simonbräu German Pilsener" in 1909. Since 1929, the so-called "connoisseur", now known as the "connoisseur", has had a significant influence on the brand's appearance. In 1951, Bitburger officially presented the slogan "Bitte ein Bit" - an advertising slogan that is one of the best known in the brewing industry. The brewery owner Dr. Theobald Simon personally provided the signature for the characteristic logo. In 1964, the “Bit Cup”, an exclusive beer glass from a brewery, was introduced for the first time. To this day, no other Pilsner is served as often at German counters as Bitburger.
