About
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.

Weissbier from Augustiner-Bräu

5.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
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.

Pours deep mahogany into a stem glass. Head quickly subsides to skim rim. Fruity roasted malt aromas. Dry and crisp with front to back sweet sticky smoked malt. Dry and sticky? Yep. Medium lasting prune finish.

Bottle. Different label than above. Golden yellow beer with an off-white head. Mineral, earth aroma. Light malt, earth, mineral flavor and some breadiness. Very clean and drinkable. Maltier than many lagers. Not bad.
