Conviviality and tradition for generations.

Our story

Founded as a small "Bräustibl" (brewery) for thirsty brewers, initially by the Tegernsee Monastery Brewery and later by the Ducal Bavarian Brewery, the Tegernseer Bräustüberl has long been one of Bavaria's most famous taverns. Its reputation is primarily characterized by the diversity of its guests, who early on created a unique atmosphere of preserving tradition and tolerant openness: During the reign of King Max I Joseph, also the first Wittelsbach brewmaster in Tegernsee, locals met European nobility here, followed by summer visitors and artists, the beautiful, the rich, the important, and the ordinary.

Almost everyone found their way to the Bräustüberl – and fell in love with it. At least, those who value authenticity did. Because the Bräustüberl and its regulars have never let themselves be manipulated. Peaceful, Bavarian, hearty, and cozy, the atmosphere is at this Tegernsee-Old Bavarian temple of tradition, which, above all, has always been a place of genuine human-to-human communication, where people look at each other and smile, regardless of their financial situation, title, origin, or religion.

1806 - King and Brewer

King and Brewer Bavaria became a kingdom. King Max I Joseph made Tegernsee his summer residence and took over the brewery and brewery pub in 1817, thus laying the foundation for their connection to the House of Wittelsbach. On January 1, 1806, Maximilian Joseph became Bavaria's first king. In 1817, he acquired the former Tegernsee Monastery and brewery from Baron von Drechsel, turning it into his summer residence and the "Royal Brown Brewery Tegernsee." Under royal leadership, Tegernsee flourished and became a cultural center and a popular meeting place for summer visitors and artists. The brewery grew rapidly, annual output increased significantly, and even Queen Caroline became involved in the operation. To this day, the brewery pub, known as the "Ducal Bavarian Brewery Tegernsee," belongs to the Wittelsbach family—and those lucky enough might even occasionally encounter members of the family there. To mark the 200th anniversary of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 2006, the Ducal Brewery also brewed an anniversary beer. This fine beer was named after the first Bavarian king and the year of his coronation, "1806, Max I Joseph," and has been served in the brewery pub ever since. Bräustüberl Newspaper 16 (2006)
