With Carlsberg a proud partner of Liverpool FC for over 30 years and Jürgen Klopp an ERDINGER Weissbräu ambassador since 2019, the collaboration between the brands is one rarely seen in the drinks industry. The partnership is particularly fitting when compared to Jürgen’s collaborative approach to management and testament to his admiration amongst not just Liverpool FC fans but all fans of football. 

The Believers Brew name draws inspiration from Klopp’s first press conference, in which the manager promised to turn “Doubters to Believers”, a promise he undoubtedly fulfilled. The beer uses signature ingredients from both breweries in an even split, 50% ERDINGER signature wheat malt, 50% Carlsberg signature pilsner malt and yeasts from both businesses in the two-stage brewing process, it also uses a proportion of unique Red Barley.  

Louise Bach, Global Sponsorships Director at Carlsberg said: 

“At Carlsberg, we never stand alone. We stand with our partners and we are incredibly proud of our over 30-year partnership with Liverpool FC. Curiosity is a key value of ours, and football is arguably one of the most curious sports out there, with progression and improvement a constant aim. It has been a pleasure to watch Jürgen’s journey over the last nine seasons. What better way to celebrate such an icon than creating something truly unique, collaborating with ERDINGER Weissbräu and raising money for a brilliant cause in the process.”

Dr Stefan Kreisz, Chairman of the Management Board at ERDINGER Weissbräu said:

“ERDINGER Weissbräu and Jürgen have enjoyed an excellent partnership for four years. With his passion, his demand for absolute quality and his enjoyment of life, he is a perfect fit for us. He is a role model in Liverpool and around the world for what can be achieved as a team. So, it's all the better that we can honour this great achievement in a very special way in collaboration with Carlsberg. With our shared passion for brewing, we have created something that will bring enjoyment to the lives of many people. Both to those who buy a bottle at auction and to all those who are supported by the fantastic work of the LFC Foundation.”
