History

In 1397, the Welser Prew was alluded to for the first time in Munich. The ownership changed often

until the brewery moved to the location it still uses today in 1854. In 1867 it became the largest

 brewery in town and in 1909 began to deliver beer to North America. In 1922, the Spaten-Brauerei

and Franziskaner-Leist-Bräu united to form a joint stock company. In 1924 the advertising slogan

"Lass Dir raten, trinke Spaten" (literally "Let yourself be advised, drink Spaten") was invented.

It is still in use today. The brewery reached the production of 1 million hectoliters (852,168 barrels

or 21,996,925 gallons) in 1992. In 1997 the brewery combined with the Löwenbräu AG to form the

Spaten-Löwenbräu-Gruppe. The Spaten-Löwenbräu-Gruppe was sold to Interbrew in 2003. In 2004

Interbrew and the Brazilian Companhia de Bebidas das Américas (AmBev) united to form InBev.

The brewhouse in the Marsstraße in Munich was closed due to a lack of workload in 2006 and is

now the museum of the company.
