CAC – The War Kitty Chronicles

Beer has been around since forever to be sure but, who, what, where is the worlds oldest commercial brewery… That distinction falls to The Weihenstephan Brewery of Freising, Bavaria, Germany. It started as a Benedictine monastery and a document dated 768 states that a ‘local hop garden’ was paying them a tithe… no mention of whether this was coin or hops. In 1040 the city of Freising actually licensed the Weihenstephan Abby as a brewery. So far, that’s the oldest brewery of continuous operation to date.

Renamed the Bavaria State Brewery Weihenstephan in 1923, it is now operated in conjunction with the Technical University of Munich as both a state-of-the-art production facility and center for learning, one of few such beer institutions in the world, and it is this combination of tradition and custom, proven knowledge and modern science, that gives the brewery its unique identity.

To this day , Weihenstephan brews quality beer: Vitus, Hefe-Weissbier, Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel, Kristall Weissbier and Original Lager.

I’ll just belly up to the bar with some Dunkel thank you. Yeah, that’s the ticket…

Beer run!
