Collection: Augustiner-Brau

Augustiner-Brau is Munich's oldest independent brewery.

In 1328 the Augustinian monks began brewing beer in their Augustinian monastery near Munich Cathedral. For almost 500 years, the monks brewed their Augustiner beer directly in the monastery - and sold it in the monastery tavern, which is popular with the people of Munich. In recognition of the extraordinary quality of Augustiner beer, the sovereign exempted the monastery brewery from all taxes. The tax exemption is of course a thing of the past. Also, Augustiner beer is no longer brewed by monks in religious habit, but by our experienced master brewers with selected raw materials from the region.
