Specialists believe that Spaten is a beer that harmoniously combines excellent taste and high quality. The Germans speak of it with pride, while other lovers of the ancient drink simply enjoy its unique taste.

Historical background

It all started back in the 14th century, when an unknown Hans Welser registered a small beer company in Munich. The drink in those years was very popular and in good demand. Over the years, the brewery often changed hands until it became the property of the Spatt dynasty in 1622. The name of the owner became the name of the company, and later the trademark of the drink. But that was later. And first, in 1807, the brewery was acquired by Gabriel Sedlmayr. In those years, he was the chief brewer at the royal court. It was Sedlmayr who made his brewery the largest in the country.

Spaten is the beer everyone admired. But any large enterprise, as a rule, has its own emblem or a special sign. This work was undertaken by the artist Otto Hupp. Spaten means "shovel" in German. That is why Hupp made this tool the symbol of the company, which eventually became world-famous. Now Spaten is beer,which is loved by millions, and a small brewery has turned into a large plant, known not only in Germany, but throughout Europe.

Clean drink

In the Middle Ages, there were hundreds of beer factories in Germany. Everyone had their own recipe and their own way of cooking. The quality of many drinks left much to be desired, so in 1516 the Duke of Bavaria issued a special law, according to which beer was allowed to brew only from three components: water, hops and m alt. In history, this order has been called the law of purity. The owners of Spaten strictly followed the instructions of the duke and to this day only high-quality raw materials and the purest water extracted from deep wells are used to produce their beer. In addition, the company's specialists have developed special yeast strains, the composition of which has been kept a strict secret until now. That is why Spaten is considered to be the highest quality beer. This is a moderately strong drink with a spicy hoppy taste, slight bitterness and a delicate floral aroma. Even women will drink it with pleasure.
