Morits is a Catalonian beer brand that was founded by a French immigrant named Louis Moritz Trautmann in 1856. The beer was initially brewed in a small factory in El Raval, Barcelona. After eight years the brand started to grow bigger and the factory moved to a larger brewery at Ronda de Sant Antoni. Here the brand build off a big reputation and in 1966 production moved to Parets del Vallès. With a market share of almost 40 percent, the Morits family decided to merge with another beer producer to enlarge production, the new company Beers Barcelona was born. Instead of expanding, the Mrits family was soon forced to sell theit due to the oil crisis in 1970. The beer brand Morits finally went bankrupt and disappears in 1978.
