The History of German Beer Culture

Brewing has been a way of life in Munich, a city renowned as the world capital of beer, for centuries. Its rich beer culture dates back to the 13th century, and in 1516, the historic Reinheitsgebot—the German Purity Law for Beer—was enacted. This law ensured that only four ingredients—water, barley, hops, and yeast—could be used in brewing, solidifying Munich’s reputation as a stronghold of authentic beer production in Germany.

Today, visitors can experience this deep-rooted tradition firsthand with expertly guided brewery tours through downtown Munich.
