Description: Vintage German Lowenbrau .4L Beer Glass Mug - Circa 1990 - Sanahed #2290New/Old Stock Löwenbräu, German for "lion's brew," is considered to be one of the world's oldest brand names. It dates back to a beer made by the proprietor of Munich's Zum Löwen, or Lion's Inn, in 1383. One story, retold in the brand's U.S. television ads of the 1980s, maintains that the lion was chained to the beer barrels to discourage pilferage. The earliest recorded instance of the word "Löwenbräu" is in the 1746 Munich brewers' registry. The Löwenbräu trademark was first registered in the United States in 1897. No country is more closely associated with beer than Germany, and Bavaria is the source of much of the country's drinking culture. A number of brewing regulations have come from the region since the 12th century, some of them detailing medieval punishments such as beatings, exile, or death for bad brewing. In 1516, Germany's famous "Reinheitsgebot" purity law was decreed by Wilhelm IV, Duke of Bavaria (a similar code had been adopted by Munich brewers some 30 years earlier). The Reinheitsgebot allowed only four ingredients for beer: water, barley malt, yeast, and hops. It remained in practice centuries later--minus the rule limiting the price of a liter to one or two pfennig. (The law did not become mandatory throughout the whole of Germany until 1906.) Löwenbräu beer's production was rooted in the local geography. Water flowed from pristine Alps. Southern Germany was famous for its hops. The locale had its drawbacks; it was far from seaports, which would make exporting expensive. This Mug is circa 1990. That's 30 Years of Beer History!
