Moritz (beer)
A can of Moritz beer

Moritz is a beer brand from Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

The brand was founded by the immigrant Louis Moritz Trautmann in 1856. Trautmann was 25 years old at the time, and had moved from Pfaffenhoffen in France in 1851. The beer was initially brewed in a small factory in the Raval district of Barcelona. In 1864 the company moved to a larger brewery at Ronda de Sant Antoni. This factory was in use for a century and was closed in 1966 when production was moved to Parets del Vallès. But in 1978, due to financial difficulties caused by the energy crises, Moritz had to close down.

In 2004, the descendants of the Moritz family relaunched the brand. The beer is now produced under license in Zaragoza. The old factory building in Ronda de Sant Antoni has been rehabilitated to house the company offices, a museum of beer and a tasting bar.
