Koblenzer Brauerei (formerly Königsbacher Brauerei GmbH & Co KG) was a brewery in Koblenz, in the Rhineland-Palatinate state of Germany. Since its foundation in 1689, it had a tradition of brewing beer in the Old Brewery (Altes Brauhaus) in the historic center of Koblenz. In 1992, the Königsbacher Brewery was taken over by the Karlsberg Group. The Königsbacher Brewery's brands, but not the brewery building, were sold to the Bitburger brewery in early 2010. The brewery was sold and re-incorporated in 2012, the brand Königsbacher was abolished and the beer sold under the new brand Koblenzer.[1] The brewery again entered insolvency proceedings in November 2023, and, since no new investors could be found, was finally shut down on January 31, 2024.[1]
Overview
The former name comes from a small river near Koblenz named Königsbach (King's Brook), whose clear water was suitable for brewing beer: "Königsbacher" is German for "from the Königsbach" (from the King's Brook).
