It has been a subsidiary of Brau Holding International since 2005, before which it was owned by the House of Fürstenberg, a German noble family.

[1] Among other offerings, the brewery produces pilsner, export, and wheat beer, primarily serving southern Germany.

As the brewery grew, it began to export over the newly created railroads in Germany throughout the 19th century, making it an early adopter of long distance distribution.

The brewery received a royal warrant of appointment from Wilhelm II, who designated Fürstenberg Pilsner as his table beverage.

Every year in late winter, the brewery produces a seasonal Fasnet beer for Swabian-Alemannic Fastnacht.
