The Augustiner Bräu Munich is one of the most famous breweries in Germany and is known far beyond the borders of the Federal Republic. The venerable brewery has its roots in the early 14th century and looks back on an eventful history. However, despite all the unrest, changes of ownership and moves, one thing has remained the same: the outstanding quality and wonderful taste of the Augustiner beers.
Like many breweries in Bavaria, the Augustiner Bräu Munich was initially a monastery. The brewery first appears in history books in 1328. At that time, the hard-working monks of the Augustinian hermits stood behind the brewing kettles to ensure the continued existence of their monastery. The men of God did this job so well that they were appointed purveyors to the court of the Wittelsbach dukes. When they finally decided to build their own brewery, the delicious Augustiner was already so popular in and around Munich that it was no longer possible to imagine the city's beer repertoire without it. However, secularization brought an abrupt end to the monks' brewing activities. The robes were banned from the sacred halls, but the brewery continued to run without them. When the company was sold back into private hands after years of state management, the Augustiner Bräu experienced a real boom and was expanded several times. Today the long-established brewery is part of the culinary cultural treasure of the city of Munich.
In the almost 700 years of brewing history, there is countless evidence that all of the brewery's efforts were and are based on one maxim: the production of outstanding quality beers is the top priority. The basis of all good beers is water. For its range of outstanding beers, Augustiner Bräu only uses water that is obtained from the brewery's own well. Munich has always prided itself on its fabulous water, providing the perfect base for beer. And the malt is also produced in-house. In the historic threshing floor malthouse, barley is turned into malt using a complex process. Together with hand-picked hops and the finest yeast, the good Augustiner is brewed.
As a traditional brewery, it is extremely important to the team behind the Augustiner Bräu to maintain its roots: the brewery has a deep connection to its city of Munich and makes an important contribution to the cultural life in Bavaria's capital. Conviviality and indulging in culinary delicacies together has always been an integral part of Bavarian culture. Beer gardens and taverns are the heart of this culture and the places where life is celebrated in intimate harmony. A cool Augustiner Hell is a wonderful way to toast love, life and the joys of earthly existence.
