PROFILE |
 |
Lucky for Beck's drinkers worldwide that Luder Rutenberg followed his passion for brewing beer instead of continuing as a master builder. Rutenberg co-founded Brauerei BECK GmbH & Co, which brews namesake Beck's beer, in 1873. Beck's is sold in about 120 countries. It also brews Beck's Dark, Beck's for Oktoberfest, Haake-Beck Pils, and Rostocker, among other brands. Beer accounts for more than 60% of the company's sales, but Brauerei BECK also bottles soft drinks for The Coca-Cola Company. In response to the rising popularity of light beers, the brewer has launched low-calorie Beck's Light in the US. Brauerei BECK is owned by the descendants of Rutenberg; the company is up for sale.
