The animals we have incorporated into our brand identity are derived from The Great Bavarian State Emblem, also known as the Bavarian coat of arms. The symbols have a rich history dating back to the medieval period. The emblem prominently features two iconic heraldic elements: the Golden Lion and the Blue Panther. The lion has been a symbol of Bavaria since the early 13th century, representing strength, courage, and nobility. It is often depicted in a rampant posture, emphasizing its regal and powerful nature. The panther, on the other hand, has origins from around the same time, though was later included in the coat of arms for the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1835. The panther symbolizes agility and cunning, serving as a complement to the lion's strength. Over the centuries, these heraldic elements have evolved and adapted to various artistic styles and political changes, becoming integral to Bavaria's identity. Today, the Great Bavarian State Emblem continues to proudly showcase these historic symbols, reflecting the region's enduring heritage and cultural significance. We continue the tradition, being inspired by the meaning of the symbols and the history of the beer styles we emulate from this part of the world.
