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.

On tap at Cajt. Clear golden with white head. Easy drinkable, malty, less sweet than previous years. Finally one edition I could drink more than one of.

Bottle from the Beer Shop in Hitchin. Good pour and good beer. Doesn't have the richness I usually expect from the type, but very good.

500 ml bottle from Coop in Zurich, Switzerland. Pours a crystal clear light gold color with a large, thick white head and great retention. Great lacing too. Standard pale malt aroma. Straightforward pale lager flavor, lightly sweet, with very low bitterness. Super clean, smooth, and refreshing. A great German lager, via Switzerland. Medium body and medium carbonation. Easily repeatable.
