Herzoglich Bayerisches Brauhaus Tegernsee, Royal brewery in Tegernsee, Germany
The Herzoglich Bayerisches Brauhaus Tegernsee is a brewery located near the lake that produces eight different beers ranging from light lagers and pilsners to darker varieties. Production follows traditional Bavarian methods with extended maturation periods and careful attention to ingredient selection.
The brewery's history begins in 1050 when Benedictine monks established brewing at their monastery by the lake. This monastic foundation laid the groundwork for a brewing tradition that would develop over the following centuries.
The brewery represents a living link to Bavaria's brewing heritage, where traditional practices and local pride in beer quality shape everything that happens here. Visitors experience firsthand how such methods remain central to the identity and daily work of the place.
Plan a visit during Tegernsee Week in late September or early October, which is when the brewery opens to the public. Arriving early helps you explore the facilities and the attached restaurant without crowds.
The attached Bräustüberl restaurant occupies the original brewing facility building and serves only beers produced on-site paired with traditional Bavarian food. Dining here gives you a sense of how the space has functioned as both workshop and gathering place for generations.
