About Battin
Battin was founded in Esch-sur-Alzette in 1937 by Charles Battin, a spirits merchant moving into beer, and it was the smallest and youngest of Luxembourg's breweries. Its reputation was made by master brewer Kurt Mocker, trained in Pilsen. The family ran it for three generations — Charles's son-in-law Nicolas Origer from 1954, then Origer's sons Marc and Paul — until they approached retirement and sold it to Brasserie Nationale in 2004, which moved production to Bascharage. The range still carries the Gambrinus, Extra, Brune, Triple, Blanche and Fruitée names.

About the owner: Brasserie Nationale
Brasserie Nationale is a privately held company headquartered in Bascharage, Luxembourg, founded in 1975. Brandtree records 4 brands under its control.
Brasserie Nationale is the Luxembourg brewery at Bascharage, created in 1975 by the merger of two much older houses: Funck-Bricher, founded in the Grund district of Luxembourg City in 1764, and Bofferding, founded at Bascharage in 1842 on the site the brewery still occupies. It bought the family-owned Brasserie Battin of Esch-sur-Alzette in 2004 and moved its brewing to Bascharage the following year, brought the Funck-Bricher name back in 2018 as an organic beer, and added the mineral water Lodyss in 2020. Those four names are everything it makes; the drinks it sells through its Munhowen distribution arm are other people's.
