Weihenstephan 1516 4/6PK 11.2Z

Unfiltered and brewed according to the Bavarian purity law (Reinheistegebot) of 1516 enacted by Duke Wilhelm IV. Our 1516 Kellbier (translates in bier speak to hazy lager) is named as a nod to the importance of the law in our brewing practices then and now. The epitome of bier perfected, 1516 is full-bodied with fresh fruity hoppiness and hints of caramel. The combination of dark Munich and pale pilsner malt with traditional hops from the Hallertau results in the distinctive taste of 1516. Weihenstephan, the World's Oldest Brewery. Since 1040.

When Saint Korbinian established the Benedictine monastery on a hill tucked away in Freising, Germany in 725 A.D., little did he know he would be founding the art of brewing. The first historical reference of brewing at Weihenstephan can be traced to a hop garden near the brewery in 768 A.D. However, a tumultuous history of foes plundering and destroying the Weihenstephan Monastery delayed the monastery from obtaining an official brewing license. It was in the year 1040 that Abbot Arnold successfully obtained a license from the City of Freising, allowing the monastery to brew and sell beer. Thus, Weihenstephan Brewery was born.
