Kloster Brewery Ettal is only one brewery I visited in Germany. Historically Germany monastery breweries were primarily responsible for the production of beer and the beer supply of the population.
When I was on vacation in Germany I really enjoyed visiting Kloster Breweries. You feel like you are having a religious experience with a beer buzz. Since I was collecting Beer Steins at the time I purchased two at one Kloster Brewery I visited. I like the feel of the stein and the taste of beer when you drink it out of this stein. I've kept my steins for years and years.
I'm recommending when you visit Germany that you tour one (or more) of the monastery or castle breweries. It's an unforgettable experience!
Klaus, if I get anything wrong please tell me. I don't want to look too stupid. All I have are my happy memories. Plus I have my souvenirs placed where I can see them all the time!!! read more
