Freising Brewery

Freising Brewery is a heritage brewing facility in Freising combining Baroque Revival and Art Nouveau design elements, rising 35 meters along Mainburger Strasse. The building houses production areas, storage facilities, and spaces showing how beer is made following traditional methods and processes.

The brewery building was constructed in 1912 and represents a tradition reaching back to 1160, when it served as the official brewery for Freising's prince-bishops. Secularization caused ownership changes, including acquisition by Maria Leopoldine, which shifted how regional beer production was directed.

The brewery carries a family name rooted in Freising's beer heritage and remains central to how locals think about their town's identity. You can observe how traditional brewing skills blend with contemporary production in the same location where they have coexisted for generations.

Visitors can join guided tours through the facility and explore the brewery from the entrance while staff explains the architecture and production methods. The location sits easily accessible in central Freising and can be reached on foot or by public transportation.

The brewery began making Freisinger Weizen wheat beer in 1860 under the name Huber Weisses and continued this production at the same location to this day. This specific wheat beer is tied to local heritage and remains a regional specialty that few visitors expect to find.
