Beck's Brewery, also known as Brauerei Beck & Co., is a brewery in the northern German city of Bremen. In 2001, Interbrew bought Brauerei Beck for 1.8 billion euros; at that time it was the fourth-largest brewer in Germany.[2] US manufacture of Beck's has been based in St. Louis, Missouri, since early 2012.[3]
Since 2008, it has been owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV subsidiary Interbrew.[4][5]
Beck's key logo is based upon the city of Bremen's coat of arms, which contains a key attributed to the patron saint of the city, Saint Peter.
The brewery sponsored Jaguar in Formula 1 until 2004.[6]
