Tasting room for brewery tour
Nina S.

This review is for the brewery tour at Weihenstephan. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to try the restaurant but thought the tour was informative and very well done. The brewery claims to be the oldest in the world, so it was interesting to learn about their history and how they've maintained the taste of their beers over so many hundreds of years. It was about an hour long, and it's recommended that you email them to make reservations ahead of time. Also I think it was about 25 euros a person. After the tour we had several complimentary tastings and spent some time at their store, which mostly consisted of beers (no surprise) and a small selection of souvenirs. They're having their anniversary in 2040, which I think would be an awesome time to visit (or visit again), especially if you love weihenstephan.

Let me start by saying if you don't like beer this is probably not the place for you. This is the oldest brewery in the world and makes beer in a very traditional way and it tastes amazing. How can someone take 3-4 basic ingredients and brew something this good ? The Benedictine monks were pretty smart people ;-)) This place is about 2.5km from the train station and it is in the University Campus. It is past the Stadtmitte so you do have to find a way to get there. There is a new place that the brewery has opened in the town centre at the Dom but this is not anywhere near the original place. The food here is traditional Bavarian fare and Sundays is Schwinebraten day :-) the food is excellent and the service is very friendly. They do speak some English but any attempt at German will get you some brownie points with the servers :-) The beer is also amazing and served beautifully. This is something you should experience when in Freising or Munich. They do have a big beer garden and you can get to Freising by train or bike 38km from Munich along the Isar like we did. Takes about 3 hours if you go a reasonable pace or quicker if you are an avid cyclist.

I was staying near the Munich airport and the hotel concierge recommended visiting this brewery, which is the oldest brewery in the world. The food was excellent, I got the ox cheek entree along with an order of German pretzels. The ox cheek was tender and the gravy on top was very good. The beer was also top notch. The bock and wheat beer were excellent. They offer you the chance to try a sampler of three beers which is a nice way to try a few of their different styles. Also there is a great outdoor patio with heaters which made the visit even better. They provide brewery tours during the day, which you can schedule online through their website.

Don't hang your hat on these!

See all

The brewery tour was interesting, and the sampling gave substantial samples of each beer they had to sample.
