About
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.

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.

0.5 l bottle from 'Rudat', best before April 2026. Hazy, golden with a large, dense, stable, white head. Sweetish, rather yeasty-spicy aroma of banana, clove and some honey. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, fairly yeasty-spicy taste, a little fruity taste of banana, clove, some honey, traces of lemon peel and hints of vanilla, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly chalky finish. Medium body, rather effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Good Weizen, very well-balanced and harmonious.

Pours clear, dark caramelly brown. Small frothy off-white head. Scent is chestnut, caramel, dark bread. Scent is sharp, very caramelly, sweet, almost a bit metallic-like. Def too sweet to my taste.

500ml bottle that pours a fairly clean, golden colour with a big frothy white head, good retention and creamy lacing streaks. Gets a little hazed as it pours. Soft banana nose from the wheat with a touch of cloves. This continues into the taste. Hints of bubble gum in the aftertaste. A wet mouthfeel, not too thick with a fairly crisp finish. Some good orange aromas do come out at last pour, getting even more hazy. Quite a good, easy-drinking Wheat Ale with a touch more alcohol - which is nice.
