From its origins in the Middle Ages to its present-day global fame, Munich is the ultimate destination for beer enthusiasts. Join our expert guide, a local German beer connoisseur, on a unique tour that blends history, tradition, and modern innovation.
Discover iconic Munich breweries and explore the surrounding regions, including the world’s oldest continuously operating brewery, Weihenstephan (dating back to 1040), and the renowned Abbey Brewery Andechs, with its stunning Baroque church. As you sample world-class brews, you’ll learn about Munich’s pivotal role in shaping the global beer scene.
Why Munich?
Munich’s brewing history dates back to 1158, when the Duke of Bavaria granted the city the right to brew beer. Over centuries, the brewing legacy grew, with monasteries playing a crucial role in perfecting the craft. Munich’s brewing culture was further elevated by the famous “Reinheitsgebot” purity law of 1516, ensuring the use of only the finest ingredients—barley, hops, and water. This commitment to quality helped Munich’s beer reach international acclaim.
In the 19th century, Munich’s brewers revolutionized beer with the creation of lager, particularly the Märzen style, and in 1810, the city introduced the world-famous Oktoberfest. Today, Munich continues to be a hub of innovation and tradition, with its iconic beer gardens and festivals drawing beer lovers from around the world.
