About Funck-Bricher
Funck-Bricher began as a brewery in the Grund, the low town of Luxembourg City, in 1764; it won medals at international competitions, was appointed Supplier to the Court in 1916, and was said in 1937 to be the most modern brewery in the country. The name vanished in 1975 in the merger that created Brasserie Nationale and stayed gone until 2018, when it returned on a single product: a bottom-fermented organic blonde, vegan and very low in gluten, brewed with Centennial and Saaz hops and water drawn from 320 metres down.

About the owner: Brasserie Nationale
Brasserie Nationale is a privately held company headquartered in Bascharage, Luxembourg, founded in 1975. Brandtree records 4 brands under its control.
Brasserie Nationale is the Luxembourg brewery at Bascharage, created in 1975 by the merger of two much older houses: Funck-Bricher, founded in the Grund district of Luxembourg City in 1764, and Bofferding, founded at Bascharage in 1842 on the site the brewery still occupies. It bought the family-owned Brasserie Battin of Esch-sur-Alzette in 2004 and moved its brewing to Bascharage the following year, brought the Funck-Bricher name back in 2018 as an organic beer, and added the mineral water Lodyss in 2020. Those four names are everything it makes; the drinks it sells through its Munhowen distribution arm are other people's.
