Additional Information
Dortmunder Actien Brauerei is a German brewery in the city of Dortmund, founded in 1868 by Laurenz Fischer and Heinrich and Friedrich Mauritz together with master brewer Heinrich Herberz. Originally, it was called Herberz & Co Brewery (Bierbrauerei Herberz & Co.). After the near-total destruction of Dortmund in World War II, the brewery was rebuilt by 1949. In 1971 a local competitor the Hansa Brewery was acquired. On its grounds, DAB erected a new modern brewery that was finished in 1983. Then in 1996 DAB acquired the Kronen Brewery

Over the years the brand identity is updated and re-launched with subtle changes, a change of Logo or a new font.
Sometimes this brand update is done by the new owners after a brewery has been sold, other times just to give the brand a fresh new look on the ever growing market.
Below are some notes to help identify some of these changes and an aid to reference the year of the glass.
