Dutch win right to keep Bavaria beer name

Friday 03 July 2009

Dutch brewing group Bavaria has won the right to keep its brand name in an legal
battle with German brewers, news agency Bloomberg reports

The European Court of Justice in Luxembourg on Thursday said brewers from the
German area of Bavaria could not use EU rules protecting regional food names to
challenge the Dutch brewers’ use of the Bavaria brand name, which dates back to
1925.

'We are not free-riding on the German brewers’ reputation and we have never in
any way pretended to be German,' Gerard van der Wal, a lawyer for the Dutch beer
maker told Bloomberg. 'We always said that we are a typical Dutch brewer.'
