Mortiz is a brand of Spanish beer that was created in 1856 by Louis Moritz Trautmann, a French man who started to produce his own beer in the Raval neighborhood. Later, Trautmann bought Joan Maurer’s factory, becoming one of the most important beer producers in Barcelona.
Mortiz beers have received a number of awards along the ages, and are today one of the most popular Catalan beers.
But Moritz offers more than beer. The company has been behind some of the most exciting events and locations popping up in Barcelona lately. Here are some of the best Moritz initiatives you should get to know.
