2015

On August 1 2015, Binding marks its 145th anniversary with huge celebrations in the brewery courtyard.

2020

Binding is proud to be celebrating its 150th anniversary on August 1 2020. Although much has changed since the humble beginnings of the small brewery in Garküchenplatz 150 years ago, one thing has always remained the same: the company’s deep-rooted passion for the artisan craft of Conrad Binding and its home city. As Frankfurt’s authentic original, there’s surely no better way to celebrate this monumental anniversary than another grand party in the brewery courtyard!

The Binding eagle – the brewery’s oldest trademark

Complete with brewer’s insignia and chestplate, the Binding eagle has been the herald of Binding since its foundation and stands as a guarantee of extra-special brewing quality. It is also a symbol of its home city of Frankfurt – its similarity to the eagle in the city’s coat of arms is no coincidence. Although its appearance has changed several times over the years, it has always stood for the finest beer and true loyalty to its roots.
