The Brewery
Almost a thousand years ago the Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan was the monastery brewery of the Benedictine monks. Then the Royal Bavarian State Brewery, it is now operating as a state directed enterprise under the control of the Bavarian Government. As the oldest still existing brewery in the world it stands upon the Weihenstephan hill, surrounded by the comparatively very young Weihenstephan science centre of the Technical University of Munich. And so, a unique tradition and brewing culture developed over the centuries. Today, Korbinian’s heirs use the most modern technology, but they never forget their own history and their own high standards. This allows us to brew a variety of beers of the highest possible quality.
Brewing Process
Brewing is our craft and has been for nearly 1,000 years. Of course, high-tech has also come into brewing, but the basic brewing process remains unchanged. It isn’t enough to brew a good beer. It has to be an outstanding beer of a consistently high quality. Therefore, we have set for ourselves the highest standard of quality: Premium Bavaricum. That not only requires constant concentration by the Brewmasters, it also means that all the components for beer production are subjected to constant quality control. Each day we have 300 hands working on just that. From Brewmaster to storage facility worker to secretary, they all ensure that only the quality that fulfils our standard leaves our house. And you can taste it!
