Producer Background
The Weihenstephan Brewery in Freising, Bavaria, traces its origins to a Benedictine monastery founded in 725 AD, with brewing officially beginning in 1040. Today, it holds the title of the world’s oldest brewery still in operation. While steeped in tradition, Weihenstephaner continues to innovate, with a strong focus on quality, research, and modern brewing techniques.
