Löwenbräu is a German beer that has been brewed in Munich since 1383. It is made according to the German Reinheitsgebot (purity law) from 1516. While Löwenbräu is still available in Germany and some other countries, it is no longer distributed in the US. However, some US residents recall being able to purchase it in the past, and it appears that it was once brewed in Canada for the North American market. It is unclear whether Löwenbräu can still be purchased in Canada.
