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.

1871 - From Brandner Kasper to Bräustüberl Paradise

From Brandner Kasper to Bräustüberl Paradise Franz von Kobell's famous story of "Brandner Kasper" turned the Tegernsee Valley into a Bavarian paradise. Anyone who wants to taste it today can experience it in the Bräustüberl (Bräustüberl) – quite down-to-earth, with a cozy half-liter of Tegernseer beer. In 1871, Franz von Kobell published his famous "The Story of Brandner Kasper," which is unmistakably set in the Tegernsee Valley. When Kasper steals a few extra years from death and finally glimpses paradise, he is surprised to discover that paradise resembles his home on Lake Tegernsee. Kurt Wilhelm later revisited this sympathetic image in his successful play and the popular television adaptation. A paradise on earth may not quite correspond to reality, but in the Tegernseer Bräustüberl, you at least feel very close to it: The warm, convivial, and classless atmosphere gives you a glimpse of what a heavenly feast might mean—especially with an affordable half-liter of Tegernseer beer.
