A look behind the scenes at our brewery
The Warsteiner breÂweÂry in the WaldÂpark, one of the most conÂtemÂporaÂry breÂweÂries in EuroÂpe, was, right from the beginÂning, deliÂberÂateÂly desiÂgned as a visiÂtor-friendÂly breÂweÂry. After all, anyoÂne who takes so much care with brewing a preÂmiÂum class PilsÂner is quiÂte hapÂpy to let you look over their shoulÂder. The Warsteiner World is our visiÂtor centÂre. Here, you can learn everÂything about our comÂpaÂny and our proÂducts – in addiÂtiÂon, it is the starÂting point of our visiÂtor railÂway. From here, you can exploÂre our breÂweÂry! Our mulÂtiÂlinÂguÂal breÂweÂry tour, which takes about 1.5 hours, is offeÂred in GerÂman, EngÂlish and DutÂch. PleaÂse note that our filÂling sysÂtems someÂtiÂmes have to underÂgo mainÂtenÂanÂce and may be cleaÂned during norÂmal working hours, and are also not in opeÂraÂtiÂon on weeÂkends and public holidays.
