History

A forerunner of the today's Malzbiers is "„the Braunschweiger Mumme "“, which has its origin as alkoholhaltiges strong beer in medieval Braunschweig (1390 for the first time documentary mentioned) and in modified form - alcohol-free - this very day is produced there.

In the year 1960 there was a controversy, since it is forbidden in Bavaria to manufacture Malzbier with sugar additive. It decided then the Federal High Court that it may be led only under the name Malztrunk into the trade. Well-known marks are Vitamalz and Karamalz. There are however still some few genuine Malzbiere, for example "“Koch' Malzbier"” from the Cologne brewery Schwartz kg ("“mill brewery"”). Here are for example added: Brauwasser, barley malt, sugar, Weizenmalz, Farbmalz, and nature hop; with an alcohol content of 2,0%.
