European Breweries History: Spaten
Spaten started in 1397 in the building at Neuhausergasse 4: Hans Welser, the 'Welser Prew' in Munich Germany. In 1622 the Spatt family took over the Spaten brewery and gave the brewery its present name. In 1894 Spaten became the first Munich brewery to brew a light lager using the Pilsner method: Spaten Münchner Hell. In 1909 regular exportation of Spaten beer to America began. In 1997 Spaten celebrates its 600th anniversary by mergeing with Löwenbräu. IN 2001-02 precisely 100 years after the first German Antarctic expedition, the Spaten brewery is sponsoring a new scientific expedition to the 7th continent. The main focuses of the Medantarktika are tests and the trial of so-called telemedicine under extreme conditions. |
