Löwenbräu is a brewery in Munich that produces a traditional Munich-style beer. Like other premium German beers, it is brewed according to the German “Reinheitsgebot” (Purity Law) dating back to 1516. Löwenbräu literally means "lion's brew" and has a long history dating back to 1383 when it was first brewed at "Zum Löwen" (The Lion's Inn) by an innkeeper. Löwenbräu has been served at every Oktoberfest in Munich since 1810 and is one of only six breweries permitted to serve beer at the festival. 

Up until 2002, Löwenbräu beer sold in American markets was brewed under license by Miller Brewing Company, and was given an anglified pronunciation. Although it claimed to use the same "recipe", this American brewed version included corn in the grain bill, so the taste was clearly and markedly different than the Munich brewed version (most notably lacking was the malty flavor characteristic of many German lagers). After 2002, Löwenbräu began directly exporting its beer from Munich - vastly improving the quality for American drinkers.

Found in a family-owned restaurant supply house in the outskirts of Paris, a cache of unused original Vintage Löwenbräu Glasses from the 1960s.  Their refined silhouette make them the perfect glass for properly serving "Lion's Brew".
