Bavarian Beer: Stories and Tips
Bavaria is world famous for its beer culture, with a long tradition dating back to the year 1050.
The quality of Bavarian beer is based on the German Purity Law, which was enacted in Bavaria in 1516. One of the aims was to ensure the supply of high-quality and inexpensive beer to the population, which at the time had the character of a staple food.
Today, more than 620 breweries bottle over 4,000 different brands of beer. In addition to the 40 traditional types of beer, there are also creative innovations such as craft beer.
We tell beer related stories from the hop field to special Zoigl beer, organic beers and craft beer creations to beer queens and beer cuisine.
