Oettinger bought the brewery producing "5,0 Original" beer in
Braunschweig, a competitor in the same market segment. Oettinger is rarely found on tap in pubs and bars – most of it is sold bottled in supermarkets. It is also exported – in Australia Oettinger Pils is directly imported by the
Endeavour Group liquor outlets where it is sold in 330 mL bottles, as well as 500 mL cans.
Oettinger uses several ways to keep beer prices low: • Oettinger does not advertise. • Oettinger does not involve any intermediaries; brewery-owned trucks deliver directly to stores. • The brewing process is highly automated and uses few employees to brew vast amounts of beer. The low price has made this beer brand the most successful one in Germany with an output of in 2011. A stronger version, "Oettinger super forte" (8.9%
alcohol by volume), is also available. ==History==
