The story behind it

The maker

Originally founded as a Benedictine monastery brewery in the year 1040, Weihenstephan is steeped in nearly a thousand years of history. Today, it operates as a state-owned Bavarian brewery, combining state-of-the-art science from the neighboring brewing university with historic, time-tested recipes.

How it is made

Brewed by the Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan, the world's oldest continuously operating brewery, located on the Weihenstephan hill in Freising. This festival lager represents centuries of dedication to the Bavarian brewing tradition and the Reinheitsgebot purity law.
