Your visit is often rounded off with a tasting of the brewery's brewed beer. Would you like to take a unique souvenir back home? In many cases there is also a souvenir shop.

The Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan in Freising is the cradle of Bavarian brewing culture. In addition to being one of the most beautiful breweries, it is also one of the oldest: as early as 1040, the Benedictine monks of the Weihenstephan monastery were given the right to brew beer. This makes it the oldest beer brewery in the world.
