Leikeim Brewery is a private brewery, owned by the same family for four generations, and was founded in Bavaria by master butcher and innkeeper Johann Leikeim in 1887. The brewery was continued and modernized over the years by Andreas and Anton Leikeim and was taken over by Dieter Leikeim in 1975, who turned this small country brewery into one of the most successful mid-sized private breweries iin Germany. With the creation of Leikeim Premium, with its famous, exclusive Leikeim flip-top bottle, the Leikeim Brewery moved into the select circle of premium breweries. Today, together with its subsidiary Altenburger Brewery, Leikeim is the second largest in Germany in terms of beer specialties in flip-top bottles. Premium is responsible for nearly 90% of the brewery’s output.

Leikeim Dunkle Weisse
Dunkel is a word used for several types of dark German lager. Dunkel is the German word meaning dark, and dunkel beers typically range in color from amber to dark reddish brown. They are characterized by their smooth malty flavor. In Bavaria, Dunkel, is a traditional style brewed in Munich and popular throughout Bavaria. Dunkels are produced using Munich malts which give the Dunkel its colour. Other malts or flavors may also be added. Dunkel Weisse is term used to refer to dark wheat beers, which are fruity and sweet with more dark, roasted malts than their lighter counterpart.
Leikeim Lendbier
Landbier is a general term denoting a simple every day session or quaffing brew. As an easy-drinking beer, it is usually not too hoppy. Its other characteristics, however, are fairly undefined. A Landbier is usually golden-yellow, but it may also be dark; it may be filtered like a Pils or unfiltered like a Kellerbier, and its alcohol by volume level may range between 4.8% and 5.3%. For many breweries, the term Landbier has more to do with branding a particular line of beer than with brewing a beer according to a style definition.
Leikeim Kellerbier
Kellerbier is a type of German beer which is often not clarified or pasteurized. Kellerbier can be either top- or bottom-fermented. The term Kellerbier translates as “cellar beer”, referring to its cool lagering temperatures, and its recipe likely dates to the Middle Ages. In comparison with most of today’s filtered lagers, Kellerbier contains more of its original brewing yeast, as well as vitamins, held in suspension. As a result, it is distinctly cloudy, and is described by German producers as naturtrüb (naturally cloudy).
