Altenmünster

Marktoberdorf is Germany's highest district town and is located in the heart of the picturesque Ostallgäu region. The town attracts visitors with its rich cultural offerings and historical sights. The baroque parish church of St. Martin, the town's museums, the former Prince-Bishop's Palace, the Luitpoldhöhe, and the vibrant museum and theater scene offer a wealth of options for residents and their guests. And right at the heart of it all: the Altenmünster Brewery – a branch of Allgäuer Brauhaus AG, whose handcrafted beer is just as enticing as the town's most beautiful sights.

Historical roots, modern brewing art

The Altenmünster brand has a long history: It dates back to the Sailer private brewery, which existed in Marktoberdorf-Leuterschach since the 15th century and has been part of the Radeberger Group since 2003. The Allgäuer Brauhaus, the parent company based in Kempten, continues the tradition and preserves the custom of Marktoberdorf beer. A charming detail is the high-quality, embossed swing-top bottles: Altenmünster was one of the first breweries in Germany to introduce this distinctive design, laying the foundation for many other breweries to follow suit.

Brewing process & philosophy

Altenmünster stands for meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. The brewers rely on the finest ingredients: select hops, high-quality barley malt, and their own pure yeast, which gives the beer specialties their distinctive flavor. After a resting period in the cool cellar, the beers are bottled in embossed swing-top bottles and packaged in wooden-look beer crates. This small reminder of the historical model – the classic wooden crate – is a monument to the brewery's vibrant history. The company focuses on quality, demonstrates an eye for design, and has a high standard of enjoyment that defines every single step.

Timeless classics with character

Altenmünster's range offers a selection that appeals to connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. The Altenmünster Urig Würzig impresses with a robust, nutty character, a subtle hop note, and a smooth, rounded taste profile, ideally paired with a hearty snack or a creamy soup. Those who prefer a more hoppy flavor should opt for the Altenmünster Hopfig Herb, while seasonal specialties such as the robust Maibock in spring or the velvety Winterbier in the colder months provide special moments of enjoyment. The selection is complemented by the aromatic Hefe-Weißbier, which delights classic wheat beer lovers with its typical freshness and fruitiness.

Altenmünster Brauer Bier from Marktoberdorf offers a regional beer selection, combining centuries-old brewing tradition with modern quality. Authentic in taste, distinctive in style, and creative in selection. These beers are a delicious taste of the Allgäu region.
