In 1851 a young lad named Louis Moritz Trautmann from Pfaffenhofen in Alsace set off for faraway Barcelona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarcelona was just beginning to develop industrially during these years. In the Raval quarter near the Rambla, Trautmann found a small factory, which he bought and expanded into a large brewery in the following years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the 19th century Moritz beer was the leading brand in Barcelona; at the World Exhibition in 1888 the beer even won a gold medal. Advertising has always been designed by the best contemporary artists, as evidenced by an in-house exhibition. In 1978, however, production was stopped due to the oil crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was tentatively reintroduced in 2004. In the meantime, Moritz has become a cult beer in Barcelona and the brewery supplies its beers to the whole of Spain and to another 15 countries. The annual growth rates amount to 30 to 40 percent, the annual production is around 10 million litres!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to the Spanish beer giants Estrella, San Miguel or Cruzcampo, Moritz rather occupies the niche for gourmets. This is also reflected in terms of price, because a bottle of Moritz costs almost twice as much as a bottle from competitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater plays a decisive role at Moritz: it comes from the Montseny-Guilleries spring, which belongs to the Vichy Catalán company. Other Spanish beers are brewed with normal table water. Moritz beer is also refined with hops from the Czech town of Saaz, which gives it a mild taste. Other basic ingredients of the cult beer are rice and malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoritz beer also differs from the others in the fermentation method: In order to relieve the beer of the \"stress\" of the pressure in the fermentation tanks, people returned to low tanks, which guarantees a balance in taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moritz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56965958598996,"sku":"722","price":84.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/3149\/7044\/files\/moritz-bier-kiste.jpg?v=1788080383","url":"https:\/\/pekdwn-5z.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/moritz-barcelona-24-x-330-ml-5-4-spanien","provider":"Drink-Shop.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
