Brewery Information

Augustiner-Bräu is Munich’s oldest independent brewery, with a history dating back to 1328. It was originally founded by Augustinian monks, who began brewing beer as a means to support their monastery. Today, Augustiner-Bräu is still known for its traditional brewing methods and unwavering commitment to quality. Their beers are brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot (the German Beer Purity Law), ensuring that only the finest ingredients are used—water, barley, hops, and yeast.

Over the centuries, Augustiner-Bräu has gained a reputation for excellence, with their beers frequently earning awards and accolades both in Germany and internationally. Their Helles Lager is one of the most beloved beers in Bavaria, often found in beer halls and festivals across Munich. Despite its worldwide popularity, the brewery remains dedicated to producing authentic craft beer using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations.

One unique fact about Augustiner-Bräu is that they are one of the few large-scale breweries that still employs wooden barrels for beer storage, a nod to their deep-rooted brewing traditions.

Food Pairings

Augustiner Helles is a versatile beer that pairs well with a wide range of dishes. Its light malt sweetness and crisp finish make it an excellent companion for grilled meats, particularly bratwurst or pork schnitzel. The beer’s subtle hop bitterness also complements savoury dishes like pretzels with mustard, roast chicken, or even a simple charcuterie board featuring cheeses such as Gouda or Emmental.

For those who prefer lighter fare, Augustiner Helles pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like grilled prawns, fish and chips, or a fresh salad with a citrus vinaigrette. Its refreshing character also makes it a great choice for spicy foods, such as Mexican or Thai cuisine, as the beer’s crisp finish helps to balance the heat.
