Landskron Braumanufaktur

Reviewed By M8404MRjamesn

The Landskron Brewery is kind of off the normal tourist trail for Americans, but once I contacted the marketing department to inform them we would like to have a tour they could not have been more accommodating. The brewery is about a 10-15 minute walk from the Goerlitz train station and easy to find. Our tour including a visit to the modern visitors' center (all displays are German/English), then we had a guided tour of the production/storage facilities in the historic buildings conducted by a great guy named Ulrich (with my baby German I could understand about 40%), but hey, besides the history we are also there to sample the beer. Our tour included a buffet lunch with open tap afterwards which was a real treat (the Kellermeister Tour). Give yourself 2-3 hours for the total experience. It is worth it.

Brauerei Bosch

Come and visit our traditional craft brewery to see the brewing process as close as possible. Experience our excellent and large variety of beers by seeing, smelling and tasting and take a look into our traditional copper brewing kettles existing since the 50s. Of course you are invited to tap and taste two different glasses of beer out of the historical maturing tanks. As a special thank you will get one beer glas for taking home.

My friend took me to Andechs by walking through the lovely trail with the view of Ammersee along the way. Absolutely love the Schweinhaxel and the dark beer for lunch. A must visit place in Bavaria.

Brewery Weihenstephan

The world's oldest brewery which combines tradition with high tech brewing. The State Brewery Weihenstephan is an independent profit-seeking enterprise owned by the Free State of Bavaria.

You can walk from Freising Bahnhof using Google Maps on your phone. I couldn't find the right bus from the station using broken German, maybe get a taxi, but it's only a 20-minute walk. The tour itself is pretty standard, they show you a few small areas where they brew the beer, but it is quite loud and hard to hear the guide even though they speak in English. They do give you a bit of history of the brewery, but you could find that online as well. You can book the tour online but they only accept cash, yet you can use credit card in the restaurant so I don't know why that is. There's a small tasting with 2 beers at the end, are there a lot of souvenirs you can buy also. Overall the tour is okay but not the best I've had. I came here for the beer and the restaurant, both of which were excellent. They only had 2 beers on tap but had plenty of different varieties in bottles, so I tried 5 different types I can't buy back at home, and they were all fantastic. The goulash was pretty amazing. The outdoor beer garden is very relaxing. That's basically why I gave it 5/5, the tour alone is probably a 3 or 4.

Erdinger Brewery

Watch our master brewers in action! Join one of our guides on an educational and highly entertaining journey through the world of ERDINGER Weissbier. How is it brewed, what happens in the bottling plant and why is the high-bay warehouse so cool? Our experts at the Visitor Center know the brewery inside out and can answer (almost) all your questions. After the tour, you can experience the full range of ERDINGER wheat beers with a traditional Bavarian snack in our cozy Visitor Center – with wheat beer, white sausages and pretzels (two per person). Including the snack, the whole tour lasts about three hours. Groups of 10 or more will receive a free souvenir photo of the group in the brewhouse. We offer tours in German, English and Italian. Our video films are available in German, English, Italian, Spanish and French.

This was the best ever brewery tour I’ve been on. I was very impressed that they started the tour with a nice cold wheat beer while watching the introductory video. The guide, Ludwig, provided the right amount of technical information, anecdotes about the brewery and the appropriate amount of time answering questions. There are quite a few steps to climb during the tour. The socialization time at the end was awesome. There was opportunity to enjoy all the different beers, eat a few sausages and pretzels as well a meet some new people. I’ll definitely come back here on my my next trip to Munich and will join the fan club - free tours for folks who have been fan club members for at least a year.
