History

This beer was also brewed for a period for the

King of Saxony.[2] It was the first brewery in Germany to brew beer exclusively in the Pilsner style that still exists today.[3]
Radeberger elected to change its name to the present name of Radeberger Exportbierbrauerei. This change came in 1885 when they began shipping across borders. By the late 1880s, the brewer's numbers had risen to 300,000 cases per year.[4] The first German chancellor, Otto von Bismarck elevated Radeberger Pilsner to "Kanzler-Bräu" (chancellor brew) in 1887. The brewery takes pride in the fact that in 1905, Radeberger Pilsner became the favourite drink of king Frederick Augustus III of Saxony. Also that same year, Radeberger began to export to the USA and Canada.

In 1946, the communist

East German
government took control of the brewery. In 1954, the company began to export worldwide. In 1990, after the fall of the
Oetker Gruppe
purchased the company and removed them from the stock market, thus making Radeberger a private company.

Radeberger was the favourite beer of the character Charlie Harper in the TV series

Radeberger, which remains his preferred beer, in Russia, and when he travels to the European Union.[6]

They also brew 'Uberbrau' for Wesfarmers in the Australian market.
