Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu
Spaten traces its history to 1397, when a brewer named Hans Welser is first recorded in Munich; the name goes back to the Spatt family, who ran the house in the 17th century. Gabriel Sedlmayr took over in 1807, and by 1867 it was the largest brewery in the city. Spaten brought out its Märzen in 1841 and on 21 March 1894 shipped the first Münchner Hell. It merged with Franziskaner-Leist in 1922 and with Löwenbräu in 1997, and has belonged to AB InBev since 2003.
