About Andechs

Ours is one of the last genuine monastery breweries managed by an active religious order, entirely independent of corporations. Benedictines of St. Boniface Abbey in Munich and Andechs represent a special monastic brewing tradition. Here beers can mature into an “enjoyment for the body and soul”.

Benedictine brewing tradition – the latest brewing technology

The roots of the Andechs brewing tradition extend back to serving the pilgrims that have been coming to the Holy Mountain since 1128. The Benedictines have been serving pilgrims in Andechs since 1455, receiving them with hospitality. The monastery brewery is committed to sustainable growth and maintaining the monastic identity to this day.

Our monastery’s beers are brewed exclusively in Andechs using the traditional multiple mashing process. They have served as ambassadors of Andechs hospitality for more than 550 years. The Andechs monks finance their many activities, such as help for the homeless in Munich, with the monastery brewery – and no church tax funds.

Very popular among real beer connoisseurs - our wheat beer specialty Andechser Weissbier Hell. The yeast-cloudy wheat was brewed for the first time in 1993 for St. Joseph's Day. A tangy and sparkling taste pampers the palate. Light fish dishes and grilled seafood such as a scampi salmon skewer or a fresh herring fillet harmonize wonderfully with the fruitiness of our Andechser Weissbier Hell.

Andechser Weissbier Dunkel
Abbey Beer
Dunkel
5.0% ABV
The deep chestnut color, the naturally finely structured yeast cloudiness and the extremely creamy and fine-pored foam give our Andechs Weissbier Dunkel its typical appearance. Our dark wheat beer specialty will spoil you as soon as you drink it with its round, soft body. Pleasant roasted malt aromas, pronounced notes of ripe banana and fruity pineapple make you want more. A veal cream goulash from the high rib with porcini mushrooms, apple cubes and spaetzle or a classic apple strudel with white nougat ice cream harmonize wonderfully with the fine fruit and caramel notes in our Andechser Weissbier Dunkel.

Our classic bock beer from the Holy Mountain is world-famous and will delight you too. Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel stands for centuries-old Benedictine brewing art. Traditionally brewed with real dark roasted malts. The taste is slightly moussing, full-bodied and velvety. A delicate sweetness of dark chocolate pampers the palate. Our Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel is the ideal accompaniment to dishes with intense and strong flavors, such as pasta with pointed cabbage in Roquefort creme fraiche sauce. You experience a culinary delight when cocoa notes in the dessert meet the powerful malt body of the Doppelbock.

Andechser Weizenbock
Abbey Beer
Weizenbock
7.0% ABV
Enjoy our seasonal beer specialty Andechser Weizenbock from October to February. Its unique taste is achieved through harmoniously balanced fruit acids with a slight honey sweetness. Brewed with top fermentation, the aromas are reminiscent of a typical wheat beer and at the same time of a full-bodied, hoppy bock beer. It is fruity, with a strong, soft beer body and a rather reserved hop bitterness. The roasted aromas of grilled beef and scallops with a lime-coriander-sesame-honey mustard dip are an ideal companion to the fruity notes of our Andechser Weizenbock.
