Mützig beer in France

Mützig is a beer brand owned by Heineken that was originally brewed in 1810 by Brasserie Mutzig of Alsace, France. The name originates from the commune of Mutzig, France, located at the entrance of the Bruche river valley in the Bas-Rhin department in Alsace, north-eastern France. The beer was brewed in Mutzig until 1969 when Brasserie Mutzig merged into Alsacienne de Brasserie (Albra) and the brewery was moved to Schiligheim, about 18 miles away. The old brewery in Mutzig was designated a historical monument in 2001 and now houses a business incubator.

Today, Mützig is primarily brewed in Rwanda and the Congo, and it is the second most popular beer in Rwanda. However, it is still considered a local beer in the Alsace region of France, where it can be found in certain cafés, particularly in the historic breweries of Alsace. The beer is also available in bottles in some locations.

The beer has an ABV of 4.7% by volume, although some sources list it as 5.5%, and it is known for its full-bodied taste and distinctive packaging. Mützig's slogan is "Mützig, the Taste of Success" in English and "Mützig, Le goût de la Réussite" in French. The spelling of the name was Germanicized with an umlaut for marketing reasons when the beer was launched in Africa in 1987.
