NORWALK, Conn. — Radeberger Gruppe USA, an ambassador of German beer culture in the United States and an importer of German beer from the leading German brewing group in the world (Radeberger Gruppe), has announced that its flagship beer, Radeberger Pilsner, is the exclusive beer sponsor of the 57th and 58th New York Film Festivals (NYFF).
Enjoyed by generations of beer connoisseurs dating back to 1872, Radeberger Pilsner is produced and brewed in the town of Radeberg, Germany near Dresden – known globally as one of the most culturally significant cities in Europe. The town of Radeberg is in the heart of the original site of the Kingdom of Saxony – an independent and free state in the 1800s, prior to the unification of Germany. The Saxons were known around the world for their commitment to industry, quality and cultural freedom.
“Radeberger Pilsner has been committed to the quality of its craft for nearly 150 years and today embodies the ‘Culture of Taste’ that recognizes and celebrates others’ commitment to quality and craftsmanship,” said Lisa Gustafson, Senior Brand Manager, Radeberger Gruppe USA. “For 57 years, The New York Film Festival has been a fixture in New York City and celebrates the best in film and the arts from independent filmmakers around the world. This partnership is perfectly aligned with our mission of supporting cultural institutions and cultural expression and we’re thrilled be a part of it.”
