Description
1328 wurde die Brauerei erstmals namentlich genannt. In 1803 mussten im Rahmen der Säkularisation die Mönche das Kloster verlassen und es wurde aufgelöst. Nur die Klosterbrauerei wurde anfänglich unter staatlicher und später unter privater Führung weitergeführt.

1829 erwarben Anton und Therese Wagner, eine Brauerfamilie aus Attaching bei Freising, die Sudstätte. Seitdem ist die Brauerei eine bürgerliche Privatbrauerei in Familienbesitz. Therese Wagner erwarb in 1857 einen Lagerkeller an der Landsberger Straße. Auf dieses Gelände wurden später die gesamten Produktionsanlagen verlegt. Edith Haberland-Wagner, die letzte Verwandte mit dem Nachnamen Wagner und Haupteigentümerin der Brauerei, vermacht in 1996 ihre Anteile der von ihr gegründeten Edith-Haberland-Wagner-Stiftung. Nun hält die Stiftung etwas über 50 Prozent der Augustiner Brauerei.

Zurückhaltend malzig-wüßer Antrunk, später röstmalzern. Im Mittelteil wird das Bier herber, im Nachgeschmack süßer und würziger, was sich im Mittelteil teilweise ankündigt. Durchschnittlicher Doppelbock. Test vom 18.6.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,11,11,10,10,11

A thick, malty, tasty beer. Thoroughly enjoyable. Dark cooper/burgandy pour with small, off-white head. Nice aroma of sweet malts with notes of caramel and molasses and fruit, prune and fig. Some earthy notes as well. The flavor is mostly sweet with only a slight bitterness. The body if full and leaves a welcome sticky mouthfeel. Very little carbonation. Excellent.

Bottle bought at Reading BF. Golden coloured with a thin, white head. Whiff of hops in the aroma. Flavour was sweet with a cloying palate. This was dull, like an industrial super-strength lager.

500ml bottle at Man of Kent, Rochester. Pale gold colour with thin white head. Some niceish malt. Citrus noble hops are good too. Hops are pretty good on end, no pukey malt. Clean, crisp and rather good. One of the better Helles I?ve had. Crisp, but also some depth of flavour and feel as well. 3.4. Now one of my favourite all time lagers. Proper pilsner with good hop, so smooth and clear and clean in taste superb and I would always want a crate of this in my house.. 858417 4.2/5 On tap at Reading BF 2010, so fresh creamy, hoppy, I loved this. So clean and fresh and drinkable. Stunning. 4.3 rating Augustiner am dom Munich. After some stunning beers this evening thus still holds up. Still highly drinkable and that lemony lasting finish is outstanding. Bit sweet maybe. Knock a 0.1 off. Re rate Munich 2017 not as good as the Hell. Down to 4 from 4.2

Orange tinted beer, quite clear without the yeast that keeps clinging stubbornly to the bottom; and quite dense, collapsing, near-white head. Very strange initial nose: garden weeds, nettles maybe, and - cheese, but rather old, running, musty one... or muck? Then less shocking cloves/mint and fruity (but not exactly fresh fruit...) Faint fruity (oranges, banana) some cloves, some ham (smoked) and dry woody, but all very discreet. Finish is soft lemony. Light, on the verge of empty. Some wheat slickness. Strange Weizen. It is probably great for a sweltering Münchner Augustafternoon in a Bierkeller, but once out of that...

Bottle from Degarth, Thanks Joe! Nose of caramel, fig newtons, and sweetness; lightly hazed dark brown with a small beige head; flavor is molassey, with dark fruits, and roasty graininess. Decent dopplebock.

Bottle: Poured a golden to light amber with a thick carbonated white head. Sweet rich malt aroma. The flavor was similair rich malt, but did finish with a nice fresh grainy taste.

"Augustiner Edelstoff Exportbier", bottled (BB 01/2007).
Golden color, small white head. Malty, grassy hoppy flavor. Quite typical German pils: grassy Saaz hoppy and malty. Clean Dortmunder, but not very interesting.
