Augustiner Bräustübl Mülln

The Augustiner Bräu Kloster Mülln is a beer brewery in the city of Salzburg in the Mülln district . The connected brewery restaurant, the Müllner Bräustübl , describes itself as Austria's largest beer restaurant. The entire building ensemble, the former Augustinian monastery , is a listed building .

history

From 1465 to 1525 there was a collegiate monastery of the Augustinian Canons , who also looked after the Mülln parish . The monastery was orphaned and Prince Archbishop Burkhard II von Weißpriach established Augustinian hermits from Munich here , who took over the property in 1605 and expanded it from 1607 to 1614. After the Munich motherhouse , it was the second largest Augustinian monastery in Bavaria.

The brewery was founded in 1621. The monks first sold their beer at the monastery gate, later in inns that were bought for this purpose.

Until 1818 this monastery was in the hands of the Augustinian (extinction of the Augustinians in Salzburg), then it went to a time in which it was used as a barracks, in 1835 by Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria in the hands of the Benedictines of Michaelbeuern over .

The brewery that still exists today was built in 1912. In addition to the existing inns, the Benedictines acquired the nearby historic Krimpelstätter inn in 1949; In addition, a barrel shop was taken over so that production could be carried out independently throughout.

In 1939 the brewery was requested to be sold. Half of the ownership of the Benedictines passed to Heinrich Kiener and Alois Fuchs from the Forst brewery in Merano. In 1940, however, the serving of beer was completely banned; In 1944 operations had to be stopped at all.

After the Second World War the sale was reversed. However, as the damage caused by the war made investments necessary, a new company was founded, in which the two former owners joined the monastery again.

Today the brewery operates under the name Augustiner Brauerei Kloster Mülln OG and is 50 percent owned by the Michaelbeuern Benedictine Abbey and 25 percent each to Maria Gabriella Barth, Fuchs' daughter, and Heinrich Dieter Kiener from the Stiegl brewery in Salzburg . The managing director is the retired Abbot von Michaelbeuern, Prelate Nikolaus Wagner OSB.

Marble Hall, aka Abbot Nicolaus Hall

In April 2017, the marble hall of the station restaurant, dismantled from the old Salzburg main train station, was opened as the Abbot Nicolaus Hall . The hall and its renovation were presented on Monument Day 2017 .

The mallet hall

The brewery includes the extensive Müllner Bräustübl with a large guest garden, which is Austria's largest beer restaurant (5000 m² usable area, around 1400 seats in the guest garden). The interior includes three wood-paneled halls, a large bar and a sales area for culinary delicacies. The largest hall is the Stockhammersaal, which at the time of its construction was given a reinforced concrete ceiling using the latest technology. The sayings painted on it are remarkable. The bar only uses wooden barrels and lets them run out of artificial carbon dioxide under gravity without pressure. A snack , guests can bring their own; But you can also get sausage, cheese, salads, sour fish and bread as well as various fashionable dishes in keeping with the spirit of the times at stands and kiosks.

Guided tours through the brewery are also offered, in which six stations of the 16 weeks of beer production are shown: brewhouse , cooling ship , fermentation cellar with open fermentation tanks, storage, filter and barrel cellars.

The Augustiner brewery still uses wooden barrels and in the Bräustübl beer is served in stone mugs. The annual beer output is over 12,000 hectoliters (as of the beginning of 2017). Lenten beer and Christmas bock beer are served, as well as Märzen beer all year round .
