About the Brewery
Founded in 1397, Spaten is one of Munich’s oldest breweries and an enduring symbol of German brewing excellence. The name Spaten, meaning “spade,” reflects its commitment to hard work and craftsmanship. The brewery played a pivotal role in developing the modern lager, pioneering the use of bottom-fermenting yeast in the 19th century.
Today, Spaten remains one of the six official Oktoberfest breweries and continues to uphold centuries of tradition while maintaining exceptional quality. Every pint captures the spirit of Munich — sociable, precise, and full of flavour.
Food Pairings
Spaten Lager pairs perfectly with grilled sausages, roast chicken, or schnitzel. Its crisp character and gentle malt sweetness also complement seafood, light salads, and soft cheeses. For an authentic German experience, enjoy it with pretzels, mustard, and roast pork.
