Brauereigasthof Aying


Traditional brewery with good food
Zornedinger Straße 2
Aying
Munich, Bayern 85653
Germany
+49 8095 9065
brauereigasthof@ayinger-bier.de
The Inselkammer family has been producing a very drinkable and much-loved beer in the traditional Aying Brewery since 1878. The menu features typical Bavarian fare (including a type of bread soup) as well as a good variety of regional cuisine with an international flavor. There is a beer garden with seating for 200.

Bräustüberl Weihenstephan


The oldest brewery in the world
Weihenstephaner Str 1
Freising
Munich, Bayern 85354
Germany
+49 81 611 3004
The Benedictine monks have been brewing beer here since 1040, making this place the oldest brewery in the world. The brewery now belongs to the state, but still attracts customers with a selection of Bavarian specialties served in enormous portions (from 11:30a-10p). The beer garden offers a great view of the mountains north of Munich. An old law allows you to bring your own food, but there's really no need!

Floßlände


French restaurant, Bavarian beer garden
Zentralländstraße 30
Thalkirchen
Munich, Bayern 81379
Germany
+49 89 7429 9715
Idyllically situated near the banks of the River Isar, yet not far from the city centre, this restaurant - housed in a 19th century neo-Renaissance villa - is soberly decorated in black and white, but offers delicious French cuisine at fairly reasonable prices (the fish dishes are particularly good!). The main attraction is the beer garden, which is tucked well away from the traffic and also offers hearty Bavarian fare.

Freising


Ancient seat of the bishopric
Weihenstephaner Berg
Munich, Bayern 85354
Germany
http://www.freising.de
Situated on the left bank of the River Isar to the north of Munich, Freising was made the seat of the bishopric as long ago as 739. The Romanesque cathedral of St. Maria and St. Korbinian was built between 1160-1205 and decorated at the beginning of the 18th century by the Asam brothers in Baroque style with stucco and paintings. Another interesting feature is the surviving Romanesque crypt and the picture at the high altar by Peter Paul Rubens, Die apokalyptische Frau (the Apocalyptic Woman) - the original can be seen in the Alte Pinakothek. Freising is not, however, only known in religious circles. It is also famous as home of the oldest brewery in the world, the Brauerei Weihenstephan (worth a visit: Bräustüberl Weihenstephan). The Benedictine monastery was granted a licence to brew and sell alcohol in 1040.

Isar-Bräu


Small, charming brewery
Kreuzeckstraße 23
Großhesselohe
Munich, Bayern 82049
Germany
+49 89 79 8961
http://www.isarbraeu.de/
info@isarbraeu.de
This small brewery, opened in an old train station, offers simple, traditional, Bavarian cuisine as well as every Bavarian's staple liquid diet: Weissbier (yeast beer). Another speciality which is highly recommended is the roast pork in beer. The staff are friendly in a typical Bavarian kind of way; tours of the brewery can be arranged by prior appointment.

Kaltenberg Castle


Jousting tournaments
Schloss Kaltenberg
Geltendorf
Munich, Bayern 82269
Germany
+49 81939 33100
http://www.kaltenberg.de
The biggest jousting tournament in the world takes place every July at Schloss Kaltenberg. Bold knights in heavy armour engage in breathtaking contests and storytellers, jugglers and fire-eaters entertain the crowds. Earthenware is available at the adjoining craft market and refreshment comes in the shape of barbecued meat and home-brewed beer. Children and adults can enjoy a full day's entertainment, but be careful to check the programme. Feel free to join in too, if you dare!
