Renner Old Bavaria
A legacy brewed back to life!
Founded in 1885 by George J. Renner, Renner Brewing was a staple for the hard working people of Youngstown until the early 1960s. Renner Old Bavaria was first introduced in 1933 until 1947. And now after almost 80 years off the market, we brought it back! This take on the original is a crisp, golden pilsner that goes down smooth and leaving you wanting another.
