Louis Moritz Trautmann, from Alsace, came to Barcelona in 1851, began brewing in 1856 and in 1859 bought Joan Maurer's brewery in Calle Portal de Santa Madrona; the brewery at Ronda de Sant Antoni 39 followed. The Cervecería Moritz opened in 1897, the company became Fábrica de Cervezas Moritz S.A. in 1922 and held 34% of the Catalan market in 1932. The old brewery closed in 1978 after a merger into Cervezas de Barcelona (Cerbasa); the family relaunched the beer in 2004 and reopened the building in 2011 as Fábrica Moritz Barcelona, with a restaurant and a small brewery. Moritz belongs to Grupo Agora and Spanish Wikipedia says it is brewed at La Zaragozana. Moritz Original, Moritz 7, Moritz Epidor. unverified info
