According to a regulation of 25 July 1618 the sale of beer was permitted only to restaurants having their own brewery and malt kiln.

At the beginning of the 20th century, "Krombacher Pilsener" was introduced, which led to a rapid recovery.

The Krombacher Rock Spring supplying the water for the brewery (together with the "Breitenbach" Dam near Hilchenbach), was discovered by the mountain inspector Fresenius in 1722.

Krombacher Brewery also produces Rhenania Alt, a dark beer and distributes Schweppes in Germany.

Schweppes Germany (and indirectly Krombacher) both control the German and Austrian licenses for Snapple (not available in Germany/Austria), Dr. Pepper (available since 2006) and Orangina.
