Löwenbräu is a Munich brewery that dates its origins to 1383; the first recorded brewer at the Löwengrube site appears in 1524. Georg Brey bought the business in 1818, and by 1863 it produced a quarter of the city's beer. Operations moved to Nymphenburger Straße by 1851, the company became a joint-stock firm in 1872 and opened the Löwenbräukeller in 1883. Bock has been part of the range from 1848, wheat beer from 1927. Löwenbräu merged with Spaten in 1997, has belonged to AB InBev since 2004 and still pours at the Oktoberfest.
