Widmer Brothers is an American brewery founded in 1984 in Portland, Oregon by brothers Kurt and Rob Widmer. It is the 9th largest brewing company in the US as part of the Craft Brewers Alliance, Inc.
In 1986, the Widmer Brothers introduced their Hefeweizen to America. It has since gained much popularity throughout the states.
In November 2007, Redhook Ale Brewery and Widmer Brothers officially announced plans to merge, forming a new company called Craft Brewers Alliance. The new company will retain both Redhook and Widmer brands. The two had already been working closely for several years through a licensing agreement whereby Redhook brewed and distributed Widmer beers on the east coast.
