European Breweries History: Saint Pauli Girl
St. Pauli Girl Beer was first brewed during the 17th Century in Bremen,
Germany. The name "St. Pauli" comes from the ancient St. Paul's Monastery on which
the original St. Pauli Brewery was founded and built.
Saint Pauli Girl first used Bottles with labels in the 1800's which then ushered in the need for a special St. Pauli Girl label. A local artist was commissioned by the Brewery to design a distinctive label that could be easily recognized anywhere in the world. Relaxing in a neighborhood beer hall late one night, the artist was captivated by the waitresses wearing traditional outfits while they carried steins of frothy beers to their patrons. The unique label design was approved by the Brewery a short time later. Saint Pauli Girl like all German beers must adhere to a national brewing standard known as the German Purity Law of 1516. This law requires only natural barley malt, hops, yeast and water be used in the brewing process. There are three brands brewed by the St. Pauli Brewery. St. Pauli Girl Lager, St. Pauli Girl Special Dark and St. Pauli Non-Alcoholic Malt Beverage. |
