The story behind it

The maker

The Weihenstephan brewery traces its origins back to the Benedictine monastery founded in 725 on Weihenstephan Hill. Formally licensed to brew beer by the City of Freising in 1040, the brewery remains a global benchmark of traditional German brewing sciences and monastic quality.

How it is made

Brewed by the world's oldest continuously operating brewery, this specialty lager utilizes a historic recipe from the archives of the Bavarian state brewery. It is dry-hopped with traditional Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops and matured in the deep, cool cellars of Weihenstephan.

From Freising, Bavaria, Germany
