The Spaten brewery is one of Munich's oldest breweries and can trace its history back to 1397. Today, it combines tradition-steeped brewing craft with the latest technologies and has been a byword for the finest beers for more than 600 years. All its beers are brewed in accordance with the Bavarian "Reinheitsgebot" (purity law) of 1516 – including the famous Spaten Oktoberfestbier served in the following tents: Marstall, Ochsenbraterei and Schottenhamel.
