Bräustüberl Weihenstephan, Traditional Bavarian restaurant on Weihenstephan hill, Freising, Germany
Bräustüberl Weihenstephan is a traditional restaurant on the grounds of the world's oldest continuously operating brewery in Freising. The rooms feature thick stone walls, antique wooden furnishings, and brewing history displays hung throughout the space.
The brewery was founded around 1040 when Abbot Arnold of Freising received brewing rights and established an operation that has produced beer continuously to this day. The restaurant itself grew from the brewery's early need to serve its products to people on site.
The restaurant stands connected to Bavarian brewing culture and shows daily how beer and regional cuisine intertwine in this part of the world. Visitors experience here a piece of living tradition where brewing belongs to the everyday life of the region like little else.
The restaurant sits on a hill in Freising and is reachable on foot from the train station, with the walk passing through town. Food is served daily and the establishment accepts standard payment methods, making a visit straightforward.
Within the same building complex sits a technical campus of Munich's university where students study brewing science. This means that both the practice and theory of beermaking remain active in this location.
