Description
The monastery beers brewed in Andechs are the culmination of centuries old Benedictine brewing tradition and ultra modern brewing technology.
They are the ambassadors of traditional Benedictine hospitality, still practised today, and the monastery’s long history as a place of pilgrimage, without which the brewery would never have come about. Against this backdrop, the Andechs beer specialities provide a “taste” of the successful meld of Benedictine hospitality, Baroque culture, and the Bavarian lifestyle.

In brewing our premium beer, we exclusively use high quality ingredients. In addition, we give our beer specialities plenty of time to develop their aromas.

Over 100,000 hectolitres of beer are brewed each year at the foot of the Holy Mountain. A small number of Andechs beer specialities are on draught in the Bräustüberl and Klostergasthof taverns. Yet Andechs monastery beer is marketed not only throughout Germany, but also in many European countries.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear golden with a neat rich and lacing white head with good retention. Malty, sweet nose with a hint of wort. Light body, very smooth mouthfeel. Minerally - even salty, mostly malty with only discreet wort accents. Some finishing bitterness. Quenching and quite decent. 301125

Clear chestnut brown with a one finger tall ivory-coloured head of medium retention. A lot of lovely dark bread, toast, some chocolate, noble hop. Rather dry. Light hop bitterness. Good.

Bottle at OP, thx Lukáš! Clear golden body, white head. Low green apple and dry maltiness in the aroma, bit minerally. Lean, very dry but soft taste, honeyish, low alcohol, very well balanced and chuggable. Good stuff!

For the style, it is a generous lager, a reference, malty, bready, some and you get a touch of honey at the final, perfect after the garden, 20.12.17, at Lausanne, Prélaz.

0.5 l bottle from 'Rudat', best before April 2026. Clear, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly floral aroma of grains, some straw and light honey. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, malty, a bit grassy-spicy and a little floral taste of grains, straw and hints of honey, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Okay.
