The Brewer's Tale

Heritage

The Brewery

Paulaner was founded in 1634 by the Minim friars of the Neudeck ob der Au monastery in Munich — the order of St Francis of Paola gave the brewery its name.

Today it is one of the six Munich breweries entitled to pour at Oktoberfest.

The Pour

A full Bavarian beer: deep gold, generous bready malt and a soft, rounded body. The brewery is best known for its flagship Hefe-Weißbier and its Oktoberfest Märzen.

Oktoberfest

Paulaner is Oktoberfest royalty — one of the half-dozen Munich houses whose tents and steins define the world's biggest beer festival each autumn.

At The Table

Bavarian through and through: Weißwurst with sweet mustard and a pretzel, roast pork (Schweinebraten), and Oktoberfest Hendl.
