Of Bavaria, Beers And Babylonians

The origins of the long-standing weissbier tradition can be traced back to Ancient Babylon. In Bavaria, the art of brewing a delightfully fresh weissbier from finest ingredients goes back to the Middle Ages. In those days, brewing was the prerogative of the Bavarian princes. Hardly surprising then, that it is the Bavarians who brew the world's best weissbier today. And Franziskaner Weissbier is a particularly successful example. The name is derived from the oldest brewery run by commoners in Munich. It was founded in the immediate vicinity of a Franciscan monastery in 1363. That led to the unmistakable emblem of the Franciscan monk, which still stands for the unsurpassed quality of this premium weissbier today. A refreshing fact that you can enjoy each and every day.

One of the world's most famous breweries: Spaten-Franziskaner.

Beer a general description (maybee there is someone who does not know this?)

Alcoholic drink made from water and malt (fermented barley or other grain), flavoured with hops. Beer contains between 1% and 6% alcohol. One of the oldest alcoholic drinks, it was brewed in ancient China, Egypt, and Babylon. The medieval distinction between beer (containing hops) and ale (without hops) has now fallen into disuse and beer has come to be used strictly as a generic term including ale, stout, and lager. Stout is top fermented, but is sweet and strongly flavoured with roasted grain; lager is a light beer, bottom fermented and matured over a longer period (German Lager, ‘store’).
