Why...bc I'm old and want to remember the good old days. Bc I can sell it for a high profit.... I'm open to other German brew types to try, but was looking for the classic

I tried to find this stuff for an old buddy of mine a few years back with no luck. Ended up having to order it from some beverage site.

Try finding some Hofbrau if you dare. A very pleasant "Oktober fest" brew would be nice to see on a shelf.

Anaheuser Busch owns Lowenbrau and does not distribute it in the US anymore. Try Spaten or Paulner. There are many american craft brewers brewing german style beers too.

I'm almost positive, it was Miller Brewing who had the rights to brew it in the US. They don't anymore, though.
I have run across a German bottle on occasion. Seems like it may have been within the past 5 years or so since I last saw one.

There's a few different kinds of Lowenbrau beer. Around 1986 I used to pick up a Swiss Lowenbrau dark six pack for ten bucks, and that was almost thirty years ago, so you know for the price that it was mighty tasty.

In 1975 Miller Brewing acquired the North American rights to Löwenbräu. Miller began brewing Löwenbräu with an Americanized recipe and exports of Munich Löwenbräu to North America ceased.
In 1999 North American rights to Löwenbräu passed to Labatt Brewing Company, which began to brew Löwenbräu in Canada for both the Canadian and US markets with the same recipe used in Germany.
Labatt's production of Löwenbräu ended in 2002 and exports of Munich Löwenbräu to North America resumed, although on a much smaller scale than had been the case before the Miller deal.
In 1997, Löwenbräu merged with Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu to form the Spaten-Löwenbräu-Gruppe, which was sold to Interbrew in 2003.
In 2004, Interbrew merged with AmBev to form InBev, which in turn acquired Anheuser-Busch to form Anheuser-Busch InBev. Proposals to relocate the Löwenbräu brewery out of the Munich city center have failed, despite the company's international ownership. Today, Löwenbräu has one of the oldest beer gardens in Munich.
Pretty chaotic history. So I may have never had the "real" Lowenbrau but just the "americanized" version pissed out by Miller.

saw some in Winn/Dixie last year, but I'm not much of a beer drinker. But I use to drink this in my 20's ....

I will try each of the suggestions posted-was feeling nostalgic and wanted some-from what I read online, guess I will have to go the Germany and actually go to the brewery to get some.
