In 1911 a new building was built outside the city and the "Riegelehaus" was built on Königsplatz . At the end of the 1980s, the brewery acquired the naming rights for the lactic acid-based lemonade " Chabeso ".

In August 2009, Riegele took over the naming rights and the recipes for the products of the Lauterbach beer specialties that were in trouble. The brewery in Lauterbach, Swabia, continued to produce until the end of August 2009 before it closed and twelve employees became unemployed. Riegele have been brewing beers since September 1st, 2009.
