Munich Tip: Taverns, Beer Gardens and more

Munich Tip: The Taverns, Beer Gardens, and Traditional Tents of Munich’s Breweries

 

Packed Beer Gardens in Munich—Six Munich Beers You Simply Must Try! ... So, off to Munich! ... — With its beer festivals, this beautiful city on the Isar is always worth a visit ... 


Munich is home to six major breweries: Augustiner, Hacker-Pschorr, Löwenbräu, Hofbräu, Paulaner, and Spaten—each with numerous taverns and beer gardens ENGLISH - DEUTSCH - ITALIANO - FRANÇAIS

 

Munich. In the heart of the city, one particular beer garden rotates its featured beer variety every five to six weeks: at the beer garden located within the Viktualienmarkt, visitors can enjoy a different Munich beer every few weeks—whether standing at the bar or seated in the garden itself. Incidentally, you can also sample all six of these beer varieties at the 191st Munich Oktoberfest on the Theresienwiese grounds, running from September 19 to October 4, 2026 ... perhaps over the course of six days—one *Maß* (liter mug) per day ... The taverns and beer gardens belonging to these respective breweries can be found scattered throughout Munich. Incidentally, International Beer Day is celebrated worldwide every year on the first Friday of August—in 2026, this day falls on August 7th! At times like these, there is only one thing to say: a warm welcome to the beautiful cosmopolitan city of Munich ... or, as the locals in the beer tents often tell the tourists: "Hock di her, dann san ma mehr!" (Pull up a seat—the more, the merrier!)

 Here is where the celebrations take place in Munich! 

 A look back at what we experienced most recently during the *Starkbierfest* (Strong Beer Festival) in the spring of 2026: Munich hotspots included Nockherberg, Giesinger Bräu, Hirschgarten, Hofbräukeller, Forschungsbrauerei, Donisl, Löwenbräukeller, and Augustinerkeller ...  Nockherberg, Giesinger Bräu, Hirschgarten, Hofbräukeller, Forschungsbrauerei, Donisl, Löwenbräukeller, Augustinerkeller ...  Wer, wann und wo? Hier Orte und Zeiten!  Who, when, and where? Find the specific venues and dates right here! And then there are also new brewmasters whose beers are proving popular—see our blog post: "Strong Beer Festival Season—Serving Begins in 2025..." (Series: Perlacher Forschungsbrauerei, Giesinger Bräu, and the Löwenbräukeller with its Triumphator). Starkbierfestzeit - 2025 wird ausgeschenkt ...  Reihe:  Perlacher Forschungsbrauere und Giesinger Bräu und der Löwenbräukeller mit dem Triumphator

 And: like "gold," the barley juice flows into the glass "safes."

A wonderfully golden wheat beer and a cool lager... Investing in beer is always a safe investment for culinary delights in Bavaria...

 Augustiner-Bräu, gladden your heart! - The Augustiner Brewery is Munich's oldest brewery

The brewery was founded in 1328, making it the oldest brewery still in existence in Munich. The Augustiner-Bräu always refrained from advertising and always used a bulbous bottle, while other breweries used the narrow NRW bottle for bottling. The Augustiner Brewery is located south of the railway tracks on Landsberger Straße at the Hackerbrücke. Anyone passing by will recognize the long brick wall.

But back to history: The monks of the Augustinian Order produced the first beer to enjoy popularity throughout Bavaria as early as 1328. The "Augustiner" was privatized in 1817. The Augustiner Hell still bears the bulbous Augustinian monk as a label.

The Hacker-Pschorr Brewery was founded in 1417, in the late Middle Ages.


Hacker-Pschorr beer was first documented in 1417. At that time, the brewery was already located on Sendlinger Straße, not far from the town hall (Old Town Hall - now the Toy Museum). Today, the "Altes Hackerhaus" restaurant is still located here.

From the 18th century onward, the Munich couple Joseph Pschorr and Maria Theresia Hacker led their company to the top of Munich's breweries. Through inheritance, the Hacker Brewery and Pschorr Brewery split, resulting in two beer brands. Since 1972, the brewery has been brewed again under the dual name "Hacker-Pschorr."

The former brewery site was located south of the Hacker Bridge. Hacker-Pschorr is now part of the Paulaner Beer Group. Hacker-Pschorr's 13 beers, some of which are brewed seasonally, are bottled exclusively in swing-top bottles.

Löwenbräu was founded behind the Frauenkirche in the Löwengrube (Lion's Den).

It was first brewed in the Middle Ages (late 14th century). The title "Löwenbräu" as a brand first appears in documents in 1746 (Munich Beer Brewery Catalogue). In the 19th century, the brewery, run by the Brey family, became the largest brewery in Munich. The Löwenbräu festival beer later originated on Nymphenburger Straße, where we can still find the Löwenbräukeller with its beer garden at Stiglmaierplatz. Incidentally, the famous Starkbierfest (strong beer festival) and the "Nacht der Tracht" (Night of Traditional Costume) are both popular events here.

Since 1997, the Spaten-Franziskaner-Löwenbräu Group has operated jointly under the Interbrew brewing group, now InBev.

The Hofbräu from the internationally renowned Hofbräuhaus am Platzl in Munich


The song "In Munich stands a Hofbräuhaus..." ( "In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus …") is world-famous and promotes the beer from the heart of the city. The beer has been brewed since 1589, when William V founded his ducal brewery. Since the 19th century, the brewery has been located on Innere Wiener Straße, where the spectacular, famous Hofbräukeller with its fabulous beer garden attracts visitors.

In 1939, Hofbräu passed into state ownership. The Staatliches Hofbräuhaus brewery in Munich is arguably the most well-known beer brand and was originally founded in the Alter Hof (Old Court). The famous Hofbräuhaus on Platzl, not far from the Viktualienmarkt, is now one of the city's most important tourist attractions. The brewery now operates just outside the city, near the exhibition center.

The Paulaner Brewery with the monk "Brother Barnabas"

The Paulaner Brewery was founded by monks in the Munich district of Au. It was in 1634 that the monks of the Paulaner Order brewed a beer that went down in history as the Paulaner Festbier and is still served at Oktoberfest today.

What was initially enjoyed only by monks soon flowed down the throats of Munich's beer lovers as Bock beer, made according to Brother Barnabas's old recipe. The Paulaner Brewery headquarters moved a few years ago (2016) from the famous Giesinger Nockherberg, known for the Starkbierfest (strong beer festival) with its famous "Derblecken" (poking fun at politicians), to Munich-Langwied.


The brewery's headquarters remain in the Au on Ohmüllerstraße, and above it is the Paulaner am Nockherberg, a popular beer garden and festival venue for the annual Starkbierfest (strong beer festival), with its keynote speech and musical comedy. The Paulaner Brewery is one of the sponsors of FC Bayern Munich.

Spatenbräu - The "Spaten" brand tapped the first "Münchner Hell"


The famous Spaten Brewery also originated in the Middle Ages: founded in 1397. It all began in Neuhauser Gasse. The brewery then moved to Marsstraße – today the administrative headquarters. Like Löwenbräu and Franziskaner, the Spaten Brewery belongs to the international beer group AB InBev.

Spaten launched "Münchner Hell" in 1894, which quickly became a best-seller. The former brewery site now houses a visitor museum, and the beer is brewed in the former brewhouse of Löwenbräu AG.

Lasciate che Augustiner-Bräu delizi il vostro cuore! - Il birrificio Augustiner è il più antico birrificio di Monaco di Baviera

Il birrificio fu fondato nel 1328 ed è il più antico birrificio ancora esistente a Monaco. L'Augustiner-Bräu ha sempre rinunciato alla pubblicità e ha sempre utilizzato una bottiglia bombata, mentre altri birrifici utilizzavano la bottiglia stretta NRW per l'imbottigliamento. Il birrificio Augustiner si trova a sud dei binari ferroviari sulla Landsberger Straße, presso l'Hackerbrücke. Chiunque passi di lì in auto riconoscerà il lungo muro di mattoni.

Ma torniamo alla storia: nel 1328 i monaci dell’ordine agostiniano produssero la prima birra, che divenne popolare in tutta la Baviera. L'"Augustiner" fu privatizzato nel 1817. Ancora oggi, l'Inferno Augustiner è decorato con il monaco agostiniano dalla testa tondeggiante come decorazione sull'etichetta.

Il birrificio Hacker-Pschorr fu fondato nel 1417, nel tardo Medioevo



La birra Hacker-Pschorr viene menzionata per la prima volta nei documenti nel 1417. A quel tempo, il birrificio si trovava già in Sendlinger Straße, non lontano dal municipio (Vecchio Municipio, oggi Museo del Giocattolo). Ancora oggi qui si trova il ristorante “Altes Hackerhaus”.

A partire dal XVIII secolo, i coniugi monacensi Joseph Pschorr e Maria Theresia Hacker portarono la loro azienda ai vertici delle birrerie di Monaco. Per eredità, il birrificio Hacker e il birrificio Pschorr si separarono e vennero creati due tipi di birra. Dal 1972 la birra viene nuovamente prodotta con il doppio nome "Hacker-Pschorr".

L'ex birrificio si trovava a sud dell'Hackerbrücke. Hacker-Pschorr fa ora parte del gruppo Paulaner Barauerei. Le 13 birre di Hacker-Pschorr, alcune delle quali vengono prodotte solo stagionalmente, vengono imbottigliate esclusivamente in bottiglie con tappo a vite.

Löwenbräu è stata fondata dietro la Frauenkirche nella Löwengrube


La sua prima produzione risale al Medioevo (fine del XIV secolo). Il nome "Löwenbräu" come marchio compare per la prima volta in documenti del 1746 (Registro dei birrifici di Monaco di Baviera). Nel XIX secolo il birrificio della famiglia Brey divenne il più grande birrificio di Monaco. Successivamente la birra della festa Löwenbräu arrivò dalla Nymphenburger Straße, dove ancora oggi si trova il Löwenbräukeller con birreria all'aperto in Stiglmaierplatz. A proposito, sia la famosa festa della birra forte che la "Notte dei costumi tradizionali" sono due eventi molto amati qui.

Dal 1997 il gruppo Spaten-Franziskaner-Löwenbräu opera congiuntamente sotto il gruppo birrario Interbrew, oggi InBev.

La Hofbräu della Hofbräuhaus am Platzl di Monaco di Baviera, rinomata a livello internazionale


La canzone "A Monaco di Baviera sorge un Hofbräuhaus..." è famosa in tutto il mondo e pubblicizza la birra dal cuore della città. La birra viene prodotta fin dal 1589, anno in cui Guglielmo V fondò il suo birrificio ducale. Dal XIX secolo il birrificio si trova nella Innere Wiener Straße, dove lo spettacolare e famoso Hofbräukeller con la sua meravigliosa birreria all'aperto attrae i visitatori.

Nel 1939 la Hofbräu passò in mano allo Stato. Il birrificio Staatliches Hofbräuhaus di Monaco è probabilmente il marchio di birra più conosciuto e un tempo fu fondato nell'Alter Hof. Una delle attrazioni più importanti è oggi il famoso Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, non lontano dal Viktualienmarkt. Il birrificio ora si trova appena fuori città, vicino al quartiere fieristico.

La birreria Paulaner con il monaco "Fratello Barnaba"

Il birrificio Paulaner fu fondato dai monaci nel quartiere Au di Monaco di Baviera. Correva l'anno 1634 quando i monaci dell'ordine Paulaner produssero una birra passata alla storia con il nome di Paulaner Festbier e che ancora oggi viene servita all'Oktoberfest.

Ciò che inizialmente era apprezzato solo dai monaci, presto arrivò anche agli amanti della birra di Monaco: la birra Bock, prodotta secondo l'antica ricetta di Fra Barnaba. La sede centrale del birrificio Paulaner si è trasferita alcuni anni fa (2016) dal famoso Giesinger Nockherberg, noto per la festa della birra forte con il famoso Derblecken (presa in giro dei politici), a Monaco di Baviera-Langwied.

Il birrificio si trova ancora oggi nell'Au, in Ohmüllerstraße, e sopra di esso si trova il Paulaner am Nockherberg, una popolare birreria all'aperto e sede dell'annuale Starkbierfest, con un discorso inaugurale e un musical. Il birrificio Paulaner è uno degli sponsor del FC Bayern Monaco.

 Spatenbräu - Il marchio "Spaten" ha toccato il primo "Münchner Hell"


Anche il famoso birrificio Spaten ha le sue origini nel Medioevo: fu fondato nel 1397. Tutto ebbe inizio nella Neuhauser Gasse. Successivamente il birrificio si trasferì in Marsstraße, oggi sede dell'amministrazione. Il birrificio Spaten, come Löwenbräu e Franziskaner, appartiene al gruppo birrario internazionale AB InBev.

Nel 1894 Spaten pubblicò "Münchner Hell", che divenne rapidamente un best-seller. L'ex birrificio ospita oggi un museo aperto al pubblico e la birra viene prodotta nell'ex birrificio della Löwenbräu AG.

Augustiner-Bräu, gladden your heart! - The Augustiner Brewery is Munich's oldest brewery


The brewery was founded in 1328, making it the oldest brewery still in existence in Munich. The Augustiner-Bräu always refrained from advertising and always used a bulbous bottle, while other breweries used the narrow NRW bottle for bottling. The Augustiner Brewery is located south of the railway tracks on Landsberger Straße at the Hackerbrücke. Anyone passing by will recognize the long brick wall.

But back to history: The monks of the Augustinian Order produced the first beer to enjoy popularity throughout Bavaria as early as 1328. The "Augustiner" was privatized in 1817. The Augustiner Hell still bears the bulbous Augustinian monk as a label.

La brasserie Hacker-Pschorr a été fondée en 1417, à la fin du Moyen Âge


La bière Hacker-Pschorr est mentionnée pour la première fois dans des documents en 1417. À cette époque, la brasserie était déjà située sur Sendlinger Straße, non loin de l'hôtel de ville (ancien hôtel de ville - aujourd'hui musée du jouet). Aujourd'hui, le restaurant « Altes Hackerhaus » se trouve toujours ici.

À partir du XVIIIe siècle, le couple munichois Joseph Pschorr et Maria Theresia Hacker a mené leur entreprise au sommet des brasseries munichoises. Par héritage, la brasserie Hacker et la brasserie Pschorr se sont séparées et deux types de bière ont été créés. Depuis 1972, la bière est à nouveau brassée sous le double nom « Hacker-Pschorr ».

L'ancien site de la brasserie était situé au sud du Hackerbrücke. Hacker-Pschorr fait désormais partie du groupe Paulaner Barauerei. Les 13 bières de Hacker-Pschorr, dont certaines sont brassées uniquement de façon saisonnière, sont mises en bouteille exclusivement dans des bouteilles à bouchon mécanique.

La brasserie Löwenbräu a été fondée derrière la Frauenkirche dans la Löwengrube


Elle a été brassée pour la première fois au Moyen Âge (fin du XIVe siècle). Le titre « Löwenbräu » en tant que marque apparaît pour la première fois dans des documents en 1746 (Annuaire des brasseries de Munich). Au XIXe siècle, la brasserie familiale Brey devient la plus grande brasserie de Munich. La bière du festival Löwenbräu est venue plus tard de la Nymphenburger Straße, où l'on trouve encore aujourd'hui la Löwenbräukeller avec son biergarten sur la Stiglmaierplatz. D'ailleurs, le célèbre festival de la bière forte et la « Nuit du costume traditionnel » sont deux événements populaires ici.

Depuis 1997, le groupe Spaten-Franziskaner-Löwenbräu opère conjointement sous le groupe brassicole Interbrew, aujourd'hui InBev.

La Hofbräu de la Hofbräuhaus am Platzl de renommée internationale à Munich



La chanson « A Munich se trouve une Hofbräuhaus... » est mondialement connue et fait la promotion de la bière du cœur de la ville. La bière est brassée depuis 1589, année où Guillaume V fonda sa brasserie ducale. Depuis le 19e siècle, la brasserie est située sur la Innere Wiener Straße, où la spectaculaire et célèbre Hofbräukeller avec son fabuleux biergarten attire les visiteurs.

En 1939, la Hofbräu devient propriété de l'État. La brasserie Staatliches Hofbräuhaus de Munich est probablement la marque de bière la plus connue et a été fondée autrefois dans l'Alter Hof. La célèbre Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, non loin du Viktualienmarkt, est aujourd'hui l'un des sites touristiques les plus importants. La brasserie se trouve désormais juste à l'extérieur de la ville, près du parc des expositions.

La brasserie Paulaner avec le moine « Frère Barnabé »


La brasserie Paulaner a été fondée par des moines dans le quartier munichois d'Au. C'est en 1634 que les moines de l'ordre de Paulaner brassèrent une bière qui entra dans l'histoire sous le nom de Paulaner Festbier et qui est encore servie aujourd'hui à l'Oktoberfest.

Ce qui était initialement réservé aux moines est rapidement devenu une boisson populaire auprès des amateurs de bière munichois sous forme de bière Bock, fabriquée selon l'ancienne recette du frère Barnabas. Le siège de la brasserie Paulaner a déménagé il y a quelques années (2016) du célèbre Giesinger Nockherberg, connu pour la fête de la bière forte avec les célèbres politiciens-Derblecken (se moquant des politiciens), à Munich-Langwied.

La brasserie est toujours située à Au, dans la Ohmüllerstraße, et au-dessus se trouve le Paulaner am Nockherberg, un jardin à bière populaire et lieu du Starkbierfest annuel avec un discours d'ouverture et une comédie musicale. La brasserie Paulaner est l'un des sponsors du FC Bayern Munich.

Spatenbräu - La marque "Spaten" a exploité le premier "Münchner Hell"


La célèbre brasserie Spaten trouve également son origine au Moyen Âge : fondée en 1397, elle a commencé dans la Neuhauser Gasse. La brasserie a ensuite été déplacée à Marsstraße, aujourd'hui siège de l'administration. La brasserie Spaten, comme Löwenbräu et Franziskaner, appartient au groupe brassicole international AB InBev.

En 1894, Spaten lance « Münchner Hell », qui devient rapidement un best-seller. L'ancien site de la brasserie abrite aujourd'hui un musée des visiteurs et la bière est brassée dans l'ancienne brasserie de Löwenbräu AG.
