Well, it was taken over in 1994 by Dortmunder Union-Brauerei, now a part of the Radeberger Group, and then in 2002 it got renamed from Dortmunder Union-Ritter Brauerei to Brauerei Brinkhoff. You can still buy Ritter First, Ritter Pils and Ritter Export brewed by Brinkhoff.<br /><br />That last bit about Brinkhoff was something I never knew till I looked it up. I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Brinkhoff's beer, so I wonder how the Ritter brand has managed under them.<br /><br />When was the last time you had it? :)Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943606491780538470.post-25510266187456084392013-08-21T07:46:40.320+02:002013-08-21T07:46:40.320+02:00When I was stationed in Germany and in later visit...When I was stationed in Germany and in later visits, I always enjoyed Dortmunder Ritter Brau. My question is can this beer still be found?

They don't convey the atmosphere though :D<br /><br /><br />Tandleman, I've been here for almost 18 months, and I didn't rush to Dortmund, but I'm glad I went, and I'd happily pop back there for a night out. Export is not the most exciting beer type in the world, but I'd like to try more to get a feel for it.<br /><br />Bailey, you should have called! :D Next time you're in the neighbourhood let me know. You could at least pop up to Muenster and have a try of the Pinkus range at the brewery inn.Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943606491780538470.post-17834851601686549042009-07-28T20:16:10.415+02:002009-07-28T20:16:10.415+02:00Damn -- we missed a lot on our visit last year, di...Damn -- we missed a lot on our visit last year, didn't we?
