Pittinger Märzen Beer

Pittinger is a private label beer brand primarily associated with the European discount grocery chain Spar. The beer is brewed in compliance with the traditional Reinheitsgebot (Beer Purity Law) of 1516, which mandates the use of only water, malt, hops, and yeast.

While the brand is owned by Spar, it is produced by external breweries under contract. In Austria, Pittinger is famously brewed by Egger Getreide GmbH & Co KG, a well-established private brewery located in Unterradlberg. This production model allows the retailer to offer a premium-tasting 'Märzen' or Export-style beer at a competitive price point while maintaining high quality standards associated with Austrian brewing traditions.
