Weihenstephaner Festbier 500ml

Almost a thousand years ago the Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan was the monastery brewery of the Benedictine monks. Then, the Royal Bavarian State Brewery, it is now operating as a state directed enterprise under the control of the Bavarian Government.

As the oldest still existing brewery in the world it stands upon the Weihenstephan hill, surrounded by the comparatively very young Weihenstephan science center of the Technical University of Munich. And so, a unique tradition and brewing culture developed over the centuries. Today, Korbinian’s heirs use the most modern technology, but they never forget their own history and their own high standards. This allows us to brew a variety of beers of the highest possible quality.

Weihenstephaner Festbier is tailor-brewed for Germany’s famous Oktoberfest in Munich. When Bavarian beer flows (and is drunk) in Herculean quantities over a period of 16 days. This Weihenstephaner lager pours a deep gold and gives off a delicate aroma of cereal and hops. The hops come to the party and pave the way to a barely bitter finish. 5.8% ABV.

Celebrate Oktoberfest in style with the Real McCoy, from the World's Oldest Brewery!
