Hofbräuhaus München

"Welcome to the heart of Munich, and to the legendary Hofbräuhaus! You're standing in a place that's seen centuries of Bavarian history, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. Imagine, back in 1589, Duke Wilhelm V of Bavaria decided he wanted his own brewery. Not just any brewery, mind you, but one that would provide the royal court with the finest beer. So, he founded the Hofbräuhaus. For years, it was exclusively for the royals. Now, fast forward to 1828. King Ludwig I, a man of the people, decided it was time to share this treasure with the world. He opened the doors to the public, and ever since, it's been a place where everyone, from locals to tourists, can experience true Bavarian hospitality. Look around! You can almost feel the history in these walls. This place has witnessed everything: royal feasts, political gatherings, and countless celebrations. Sadly, it also saw some dark times, particularly during the early days of the Nazi party. But through it all, the Hofbräuhaus has endured. And speaking of what makes this beer so special, let's talk about the Reinheitsgebot, the Bavarian Beer Purity Law. It's a testament to the quality of our beer. Traditionally, it meant only water, barley, and hops could be used. Later on, yeast was added. This dedication to pure ingredients is why Bavarian beer, and especially Hofbräu beer, is renowned worldwide. Now, you might be wondering, who owns this magnificent establishment? Well, it's owned by the Bavarian state government. That's right, it's "Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München," meaning the State Hofbräuhaus in Munich. This state ownership ensures that this historical treasure is preserved for generations to come. So, grab a Maß (that's a liter of beer), find a seat at one of our long tables, and soak in the atmosphere. Listen to the traditional music, enjoy the hearty food, and raise your glasses to the history of the Hofbräuhaus! Prost! "

"Enjoy a big beer here for the ultimate ambiance in this historic bier hall that dates back to 1589. Steeped in tradition, the Hofbräuhaus has classic Bavarian architecture and such a festive atmosphere. Visitors can savor the authentic taste of Bavarian beer, brewed on-site according to centuries-old recipes. The lively atmosphere is enhanced by traditional music, hearty Bavarian cuisine like bratwurst and pretzels, and a convivial atmosphere of a true beer hall."

"After centuries of producing beer for the royals, in 1828 the Hofbräuhaus was opened to the public by King Ludwig I of Bavaria. The beer hall quickly became the centre of public and political life in Munich, counting famous names such as Mozart and Lenin amongst its regular customers. The brewery's significant role as a meeting place for political figures led to it witnessing a number of important historic events."
