On Tap Beer News
By Jim Weber
This weekend’s Oktoberfest will be celebrated with some quality Bavarian brews. Prost!
Korbinian was the name of an 8th-century Frankish saint who was sent by Pope Gregory II to evangelize in Bavaria and is credited with establishing the monastery on Weihenstephan Hill near Freising in 725. There is some record of hop cultivation later that century and, although no record of brewing clearly exists, it is likely to have taken place. What is known is that an Abbot Arnold obtained a brewing license in 1040 and brewing has continued there ever since, despite the multiple destructions of the monastery in the succeeding centuries. Duke Wilhelm the Fourth issued the famous Reinheitsgebot of 1516 right near the monastery. Click to continue reading On Tap
