In 1872, Spaten made history by introducing a light-coloured Vienna-style beer at Munich's Oktoberfest. The [[Märzenbier ]] which was sold in the Schottenhamel Festzelt became an instant success as other beer supplies ran out. The Märzenbier was originally permitted to be brewed only between St. Michael's Day (29th September) and St. Georg's Day (23rd April) and had to be stored in ice cellars until the Oktoberfest. Märzenbier, also known as [[Oktoberfestbier]], is a slightly stronger Helles (lager).
In 1922, Spaten, [[Franziskaner ]] and [[Löwenbräu ]] unified into one company. In 1972, the group issued public stock for the first time. Through mergers and acquisitions that followed, the German brewery eventually became part of the Belgian-Brazilian Interbrew (Inbew[http://www.ab-inbev.com InBew]) giant.
Spaten brands include Spaten Münchner Hell, Spaten Oktoberfestbier and Spaten Pils.
