Celebrating nearly 30 years of operations, USB focuses on building its portfolio of recognized craft, import, cider and FMB/RTD brands through a national network of distributors.
Headquartered in Erding, Germany, privately-owned ERDINGER has perfected Bavarian brewing methods for more than 130 years at the largest family-owned wheat beer brewery in the world. The result is a portfolio of outstanding quality.
