The Kloster Andechs Bräustüberl is part of Andechs Abbey, the world famous monastery with its landmark 1712 Baroque church on top of the Sacred Mountain of Andechs. The Benedictine monks who once lived at the monastery have a rich history of brewing and refined their beer recipes over centuries.

Historical records indicate that beer has been brewed at the Andechs Monastery location already in 1455. The current and extended brewery facility built in 1972 can be seen from the terrace, where seven different types of beer are produced: Hell, Spezial Hell, Bergbock Hell, Dunkel, Doppelbock Dunkel, Weißbier, Weißbier Dunkel. Brewery tours are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between June and October.

Andechs is located about 40km south west of central Munich, close to the Ammersee lake. The Bräustüberl Terrace offers about 1,100 seats and some great views of the surrounding landscapes. On sunny days the Bavarian Alps are clearly visible towards the south. A smaller East Terrace offers about 60 seats.

The Kloster Andechs Bräustüberl is an all self-serviced restaurant with a food and drinks canteen inside the building. Typical Bavarian meals include Schweinshax'n (knuckle of pork), Hendl (roasted chicken). The Bräustüberl is like a Bierkeller pub and brewing location where the tradition to bring ones own home cooked food is often done, like a beer garden. The same applies to the nearby Kloster Andechs Biergarten.

The beer from the barrels offered in Maßkrugs include Andechser Spezial Hell €5,40, Andechser Spezial Dunkel €6,20, Andechser Weißbier Hell €5,80

The Bräustüberl is open between 10am and 9pm everyday throughout the year, except on 24th and 25th December, 1st January and Good Friday.
