In 1634 the order of the Paulaner monks began
brewing beer in the Au, thereby laying the foundation stone for today's
Paulaner brewery. Paulaner has now been producing the best of beers
for 375 years and is considered for the best of brewing in Munich.
The Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 puts an end
to
"experimenting".
The ingredients permitted in beer were specified and the importance of
optimizing the process was brought to the fore. The Bavarian Purity
Law is the oldest food law whereby Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria passed a
law which stipulated that only barley, hops, water and yeast may be
used to brew beer.
Brother Barnabas, who managed the Paulaner brewery
from 1773. The Holy Father of Beer and his artistry, showed in the
"Salvator". This
double bock which filled one up and probably made one a little tipsy,
is drunk throughout the world today. It's
characteristics are strong and dark, not too sweet, full-bodied, malty
and unique. The worldwide reputation of the Paulaner brewery began
with the export of Salvator to Greece, the Czech Republic and Italy at
the beginning of the 19th century.
New eras are dawning. With the discovery of the
yeast cell and invention of the refrigerator in the 19th century came
"modernity", characterized by a
number of varieties, high quality standards and globalization. In
2010, Paulaner sold a total of 2.1 million hectoliters of beer and
exported to around 70 countries. More than 670 employees work on the
Nockherberg.
Each beer stein
has a manufacturer date,
this date represents the year in which the mold
was run for that Brewery.
