One of the last genuine monastery breweries run by an active religious order — the Benedictines of the Holy Mountain, brewing for pilgrims for over 550 years.
Ours is one of the last genuine monastery breweries managed by an active religious order, entirely independent of corporations. The Benedictines of St. Boniface Abbey in Munich and Andechs represent a special monastic brewing tradition.
The roots of Andechs brewing extend back to the pilgrims who have climbed the Holy Mountain since 1128; the Benedictines have received them with hospitality since 1455.
Brewed exclusively in Andechs using the traditional multiple mashing process, the monastery's beers have served as ambassadors of Andechs hospitality for more than 550 years — and finance the monks' charitable work, including help for the homeless in Munich.
Brewed using the traditional multiple mashing process, Andecher Hell has an appealing luminous straw yellow color and bright, clear appearance. This popular bottom-fermented beer is fresh on the nose with a soft malt aroma and floral hop tones. Lively and pleasant to drink, it has a round, and harmonious finish – a genuine, classic, full-bodied Bavarian beer.
Untreated and bottled with natural yeast turbidity, this is a top-fermented beer for connoisseurs, first introduced on Saint Joseph’s Day in 1993 (March 19).
It first attracts the eye with its light honey color. A very creamy and find-pored head invites you to approach this wheat beer from the Holy Mountain more closely. Striking fruit aromas such as banana and honey melon emerge, followed by fine cloves.
Andechser Weissbier Hell is refreshing to drink, featuring a full and soft body. In the finish, the balanced interplay of a slight honey sweetness with an elegant acidity and hop bitterness in the background quickly leads to a harmonious aftertaste that leaves you wanting more.
The aromatic character of this dark wheat beer is maintained by selecting the best wheat and barley malts from Bavarian malthouses and aroma hops from Hallertau.
It appeals to the eye with its pronounced, typical chestnut color and topped by a very creamy and fine-pored head. For the connoisseur’s nose, the dark wheat beer from the Holy Mountain offers a harmonious interplay of fruit aromas, in particular ripe banana and pineapple, with caramel and cocoa tones in the background.
Andechser Weissbier Dunkel is elegant and lively to drink, featuring a round and soft body. A light caramel sweetness harmoniously combines with the fine hop bitterness, leaving a soft and refreshing finish.
The world-famous Bockbier from the Holy Mountain in Bavaria wants to be savored rather than downed. Its color reminiscent of dark copper with hints of fiery red. Its bright, clear appearance harmonizes with a firm, fine-pored foam.
Soft roasted notes and a touch of dried fruit accompany an accentuated caramel aroma. The taste is unmistakable: Full-bodied and velvety, strong but with a pleasant malt aroma – powerful and lusty. It has a readily discernible sweetness accompanied by roasted cocoa notes and a slight hop bitterness.
With a strong finish, it has a lasting semisweet chocolate note. A mighty Doppelbock that lets you savor and enjoy the centuries-old Benedictine brewing tradition one sip at a time.
Strong malt and flowery hops aromas permeated with light fruit aromas. Although it is potent, Bergbock is pleasantly full-bodied with a strong but not obtrusive flavor. A very fine, discreet hop bitterness mingles with a slight honey sweetness, ending in a soft, harmonious finish.
