История ликера Егермейстер

1935 The recipe for Jägermeister liquor was invented in a vinegar factory by a man named Kurt Mast, who took 20 years for the factory to pass to him from his father.

It was after this momentous event that Kurt decided to focus more on the production of alcohol, which subsequently led to the creation of a drink with a worldwide reputation.

1919 Jägermeister gained international attention, in part through the work of Sidney Frank, who ran an American liquor import company.

Since the 1980s, he has promoted the drink in the youth and student market as a party drink, a niche that was radically different from the brand’s conservative position in the German market.

2012 Jägermeister launched pre-blended drinks labeled “raw” and “ginger lime”, but this innovation was not successful.

2015 Mast-Jägermeister acquired Sidney Frank Importing.

2019 – today: The company is growing, releasing new versions of the original recipe, experimenting with advertising and sponsoring various music events and nightlife in general.
