From 1753 to the modern day, Warsteiner has been a staple in any beer lover's diet. Still owned and maintained by the Cramer family, the Warsteiner brand has grown from a small brewery inside the Cramer residence in Warstein, Germany, to a world leader in modern brewing technology. Even though the technology to brew, bottle, and ship the beer has changed, Warsteiner still follows the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 and only uses quality natural ingredients-no additives, chemicals, or preservatives are added.

Warsteiner is now available in over 60 countries around the globe and in several new flavors. It is a holder and exporter of other fine Bavarian beers including Isenbeck (now Warsteiner Premium Dunkel) and König Ludwig Weißbier that meet the strict standards of quality that Warsteiner has set forth. Recently Warsteiner introduced "Warsteiner Premium Fresh"; true de-alcoholized beer with 0.0% alcohol, but with the same great taste. That is because every drop of "Warsteiner Premium Fresh" starts off as "Warsteiner Premium Verum." With it's cutting edge technology, Warsteiner is one of the first beer companies to be able to remove every last drop of alcohol while still retaining the taste of a great beer.

The head office for the import of Warsteiner products, including Isenbeck and König Ludwig Weißbier, is Lothar Heinrich Agencies Ltd. located in Beautiful British Columbia. Owned and operated by Lothar Heinrich, the company's objective is to make great tasting Warsteiner beer available to beer enthusiasts everywhere. They import the beer straight from Germany and distribute it to the liquor boards in the western provinces, and help to ensure that the other provinces are able to receive it direct from Warstein through local agents. They also provide all the tools a restaurant, hotel, or private customer needs in order to have the crisp taste of Warsteiner, Isenbeck, or Koenig Ludwig available on tap.

In 1997, Lothar Heinrich Agencies moved to a new warehouse in United Boulevard to accommodate the growing demand for their product. Throughout the years, few things have changed. The commitment to excellence in customer service that you would expect to find in a small 'Mom 'n' Pop' store has not been outgrown, but rather has grown with the company. Lothar believes that the recipe for success is actually quite simple; "Have a great product and great service and you can't go wrong." The unparalleled growth of Lothar Heinrich Agencies is a testament to the truth of the recipe, and the numerous satisfied clients, a testament to their attention to every customer.

From being the best tasting and best selling beer in Germany, to having the best customer service and meeting market demand for a truly alcohol-free beer, Warsteiner and it's associates have been setting the benchmarks throughout history. The question now is can its competitors keep up.
