{"title":"Klosterbrauerei Andechs","description":"\u003cp\u003eKlosterbrauerei Andechs is a monastery brewery on the Holy Mountain near Andechs in Upper Bavaria, Germany. The brewing tradition goes back to 1455 and is continued today under the Benedictine abbey of Sankt Bonifaz in Munich.

The place owes that name to Count Rasso of Diessen. In the tenth century he brought relics back from the Holy Land, which were later kept in a castle on the mountain. In the twelfth century Andechs grew into a place of pilgrimage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1455 the Benedictines of Tegernsee took over the mountain from the Augustinian canons, at the request of Duke Albrecht III. From then on beer flowed, because hospitality was one of the order's core principles. After secularization in the Napoleonic era, private owners kept running the brewery and the inn. In 1846 King Ludwig I bought the monastery. In 1850 he founded Sankt Bonifaz Abbey in Munich, whose monks at Andechs fund the charitable work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe beer and style of Andechs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the sources, Andechs is the largest of the handful of genuine monastery breweries Germany still has, and one of the few still run by Benedictine monks, without a commercial owner. Production is above 100,000 hectoliters a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range revolves around Bavarian styles: Andechser Hell, Spezial Hell, Bergbock Hell, Export Dunkel, Doppelbock Dunkel, Weißbier Hell, Weißbier Dunkel and Weizenbock. They also make an unfiltered radler and the Apfelweisse, plus alcohol-free versions of the hell and the weissbier. Among other things, the brewery invested in an expansion of the yeast and lagering cellar and the brewhouse in 2006, and in a dealcoholization plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to see the brewery in person, they offer tours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKlosterbrauerei Andechs at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Hoptimaal you will find the Andechser Weissbier Dunkel from Klosterbrauerei Andechs, a dark wheat beer of 5% in 50 cl.
