In addition to the production and distribution of various beverages, the business covers other business areas that are geared towards the needs of the food service industry and consumers.
In addition to the beers of the Warsteiner Brewery, the beverage portfolio of the Haus Cramer Group includes the products of the Herforder Brewery, the Frankenheim private brewery, the Paderborner Brewery, the Bavarian König Ludwig Schlossbrauerei Kaltenberg and the Irish Rye River Brewing Company. The beverage group is also responsible for the domestic German distribution of the Berlin based brewery BrewDog as well as the Spanish brand Estrella Galicia and other diverse international brands.
