Spring Beer

Spring Beer is an internationally-distributed brand of beer. The brand was first created in 1873 by Henry Hackerson, an employee at the Waulberry Spring Hotel in St. Gelta - where the beer's name is derived, who created the beverage by experimenting with leftover maize. The brand became a staple on the hotel's menu soon after. In 1890, the hotel licensed the beer's recipe to the River and Pine Brewing Company, who began distributing the beer around St. Gelta. The beer rose in popularity following the formation of Jonathia in 1920, which allowed the brand to commercialise and later spread internationally.
Spring Beer has changed bottlers twice. In 1949, due to economic pressure brought on following the Great War, the River and Pine Brewing Company sold itself to Mardennes Corporation, bottlers of now-sister brand Mardennes Beer. In 1985, Mardennes was sold to The Re-Cola Company, who have owned the brand since. Spring Beer now accounts for 32.9% of Re-Cola's alcohol sales, and 1.6% of sales altogether.
