Description

Paulaner Brewery has a rich history dating back to 1634 in Munich, Germany. The brewery was established by the Paulaner Order of mendicant friars, after whom it was named. These monks brewed a strong beer called Paulaner Salvator, adhering to the Purity Law of 1516. They shared their brew with the poor and sold it in their cloister pub. In 1751, the Paulaner monks were officially allowed to serve their beer publicly on the day celebrating their order’s founder, Francis of Paola. This beer became known as Salvator. To this day, the head of the Paulaner Brewery continues the tradition by offering the first one-litre measure of Salvator to the Bavarian minister-president at the Munich “Starkbierfest”.
