Tegernseer

The brewery was relocated to its current site at Tegernsee Abbey in 1675 by Abbot Bernd Wenzel, and has remained in Wittelsbach hands to this day. It operates as an independent private brewery (konzernfreie Privatbrauerei), owned by Maria Anna, Duchess in Bavaria, and run by managing director Christian Wagner. Annual production reaches 130,000 hectolitres, and all beers are brewed in accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516.

Mountain spring water, malted barley, and hops go into every brew, and the brewery applies a particularly gentle process with a long storage period. The alcoholic range covers eight varieties, spanning Helles, Dunkel, Pilsner, Dortmunder Export, Doppelbock, and seasonal Bock styles. Tegernseer also collaborates with wheat-beer specialists Erdinger and Schneider, and is in the process of acquiring the Hopf Weißbier brewery from Paulaner.

Attached to the brewery is the Bräustüberl Tegernsee, a traditional Bavarian tavern in the former monastery building that has operated since 22 February 1675, when it was granted an electoral concession for beer sale. The tavern is known for the diversity of its guests, where locals and European nobility have long shared tables alongside summer visitors and artists. The alcohol-free lager is available through multiple channels for those who prefer to drink without alcohol.
