Mutzig Premium Rwandan Beer

Mutzig is a superior quality beer master brewed according to its original European recipe with the highest quality local and imported ingredients. It was launched in Rwanda in 1987 as a brand for consumers with a passion for stronger, more refined quality and taste.

The name Mützig originates from Mutzig, a commune of France located at the entrance of the Bruche river valley, in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace, in north-eastern France. Brasserie Mutzig was founded in 1810 by Antoine Wagner and the beer was brewed there until the brewery closed in 1989, after merging into Alsacienne de Brasserie [fr] (Albra) in 1969, and being acquired by Heineken in 1972. The 1969 merger forming l’Alsacienne de Brasserie (Alsatian Brewery), combined Mutzig with the Alsatian breweries: de l’Espérance, de la Perle, de Colmar, and Haag à Ingwiller. The old Mutzig brewery was bought by the city of Mutzig in 1992. It was designated a historical monument in 2001, renovated in 2009, and now houses a business incubator.

The spelling of the name was Germanicized with an umlaut for marketing reasons, and Mützig was launched in Africa in 1987 to satisfy the needs of the consumers with a passion for a stronger, yet more refined and bitter tasting beer. It was developed from traditional local methods of sorghum beer fermentation
