Privatbrauerei Strate Detmold GmbH & Co. KG
Friedrich and Renate Strate set a new course for the company in 1979. The nostalgic swing-top bottle was reintroduced and a mild, drinkable beer was created, which came onto the market with a brew of the century.
Renate Strate took over sales and marketing, and daughter Friederike became “Germany’s youngest master brewer” at the same time.
