Another beer ship launched by the merry monks of Munich, today Paulaner is Bavaria’s biggest brewery, with its plant located at the Nockherberg. Paulaner is the star of the Starkbierzeit (literally ‘strong beer time’) when its Salvator brew comes into its own at 7.9%. The company’s unfiltered Weissbier is Germany’s most popular. In that time-honoured central-European tradition of blending sport with alcohol consumption, Paulaner these days is well-known for its association with Bayern Munich football club.
