Oh I just found out for you...
" The main letterform of Becks has been with the company from the early 1920's when it was established by our label printer in Bremen from his collection of decorative hot metal types. The other typefaces used were local cuts of the standard modern serif text types of the day and they varied according to the availability of each region's printer. At the start of the digital period we took a Monotype font called Bauer Ausgang and used Letrastyler to make it curve around the oval ends of our label. Not entirely satisfied we appointed a local typographer to adjut the serifs for a more harmonious result. Only those letters on the label exist"
