Many breweries in Bavaria were founded in the Middle Ages and look back on centuries of brewing history. They brew with the accumulated wealth of experience of many years and have recipes that have been passed down from master brewer to master brewer for generations. However, there are a few breweries that existed before the Middle Ages: The Weltenburger Klosterbrauerei is, according to its own information, the oldest monastery brewery in the world and is one of the most traditional and oldest breweries in Bavaria. Almost a thousand years of brewing experience - you have to try this!
Picturesque landscapes and wonderful beer
The brewery can be found in the sacred halls of Weltenburg Monastery and, although it may be hard to believe, the abbey is even older than the brewery. According to legend, monks from Ireland and Scotland came to the region around the year 600 AD and founded today's Benedictine monastery. Saint Benedict's Rules were established about 200 years later and have been maintained to this day. It is estimated that brewing activity in the monastery began in 1050 and has been supplying people from near and far with good Weltenburg beer ever since. The monastery is beautifully located in a loop of the Danube, right on the banks of the river. Not far from the abbey is the world-famous Weltenburger Enge with its mystical rocks. The region attracts countless tourists every year who, after an exciting day on the Danube, can fortify themselves with freshly tapped delicacies in the Weltenburger Klosterschenke. The beer is particularly tasty at this point, which, according to popular belief, is due to the underground beer pipe between the monastery and the inn. But the beer that was bottled and not transported directly from the brewery to the consumer is also really delicious. It's like tasting the experience of a thousand years.
Beer as a source of strength
If you believe in places of power and areas that give you new energy with their wondrous nature, then there is hardly a place that is more magical and invigorating than the Weltenburger Enge and the idyllic Danube landscape around it. Both the monks and the brewers of the Weltenburger Klosterbrauerei draw strength and inspiration from their magical surroundings and let the magic of their homeland flow into their beers. The beer specialties are solid, down-to-earth and masterfully brewed works of art that impress with their drinkable character, outstanding taste and quality. A real local favorite is the tasty Asam-Bock, which is dedicated to the Asam brothers. The two lived in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and had a significant influence on the late Baroque architecture of southern Germany. One of their most magnificent works is the monastery church in Weltenburg - the beer they inspired is similarly magnificent and quite tasty.
