• Bürgerlicher Brauhaus (founded by August and Robert Weixler in 1899)
• Grünbaumbrauerei (August Schnitzer).

The Allgäu Brewery was founded by the Weixler family on 28 January 1911. In 1921 was acquired the Stiftsbrauerei Kempten, which originated in 1394 and whose tradition became the Allgäuer brewery's own. "The founders wanted to know their company as a pool of Allgäu and Swabian beer interests and they have clearly expressed it with the company name."
