Moritz beer has been in Barcelona since 1864, when Louis Moritz set up shop, once the city walls had been knocked down, in what would today be the Raval and Eixample neighbourhoods, that is to say, right where you can now visit the Fàbrica Moritz Barcelona (Moritz Brewery). With an aftertaste of history and notes of modernity, this space is today the temple of brewers and culture vultures.
