Sternburg (commonly referred to as Sterni) is a brand of German beer, brewed and bottled by Radeberger Group.
In 1822, Leipzig wool merchant Maximilian Speck von Sternburg bought the estate of Lützschena, which included the brewery, as grazing ground for his sheep.
Whilst on a trip to Bavaria, Speck recruited a brewmaster from St. Vitus' Abbey to brew his beer.
In 1948 the ownership of the brewery was made public as was common under the government of the newly formed state of East Germany (GDR), and in 1968 it was absorbed into the state-run Volkseigener Betrieb drink management organization in Leipzig.
Reader-interactivity plays a large role; readers can express opinions about music or their favorite types of beer.
