The Ruppaner Brewery OHG is a beer brewery based in Constance . In 1795, the bailiff, Nikolaus Matt, founded the brewery under the name "Bierbrauerei zur Sonne". In 1872, the Ruppaner family of brewers took over the production facility and restaurant. At the end of the 1980s, the "Ruppaner brothers" withdrew from active business life and handed over management to Karl-Bernhard Ruppaner and Hans Ruppan's daughter Andrea and his son-in-law Wolfgang Scheidtweiler . Thus, the Ruppaner brewery asserts itself in the fourth generation as an independent medium-sized private brewery.

  • Organic mold
  • Bio-Märzen Taking

    The beer for the Konstanz Council anniversary - especially for the 600th Council anniversary in 2014 - in 2018 a new, naturally cloudy dark beer specialty was brewed.
  • Bodensee Pils
    500 years of the German Purity Law - the brewery took this as an opportunity in 2016 to develop a special new pilsner with five of the best (and regional) aromatic hops.

    Both anniversary beers are very well received as Konstanz specialties and will continue to enrich the range.

The old logo was made up of:

  • the lettering "Ruppaner", which is set in broken script
