Augsburg: Night-time brewery tour, brewing art & 'Zwickelbier' tour

Bavaria, Munich



We have the brewery all to ourselves, climb the 108 steps to the malt floor, enjoy the silence in the brewhouse, and raise a glass in the deep storage cellar with cellar-fresh young beer straight from the tank

Highlights

  • Experience the brewery exclusively after closing time
  • Enjoy breathtaking views over Augsburg from the malt floor
  • Taste naturally cloudy young beer straight from the sampling tap
  • Discover the entire brewery, including the brewhouse and cellar

Description

Experience Augsburg's Riegele Brauwelt when the city is quiet.

At 10:00 PM sharp, we will start a nighttime expedition at the illuminated beer fountain. Climb 108 steps with me to the historic malt floor for an exclusive view over Augsburg at night. Continue on to the brewhouse, the yeast cellar, and the well room.

The highlight: We go down into the cool lager cellar to taste unfiltered young beer directly from the storage tank – the so-called 'Zwickeln'

The guided tour ends back in the brewery building. If you like, you can end the evening in the brewery pub (not part of the guided tour, subject to availability and opening hours). This leaves plenty of time to let the experience sink in and perhaps enjoy another beer.
