history
The beginnings
Between the years 1902 and 1904 the former building of the Bavarian teaching and experimental brewery was erected. After various difficulties, the brewery was finally able to start operations in 1906.
In 1927, a low output and permanent budget problems prompted the boss at the time, Hans Leberle , to take over a license for a high- pressure , filtered wheat beer, to produce the beer in the brewery and to sell it through the Bavarian State Brewery.
Redesign
In 2006, the experimental and research brewery of the Weihenstephan Science Center of the Technical University of Munich was completely rebuilt in the 100th year of its existence. On March 28, 2006, the new facility of the research brewery was inaugurated with the participation of TUM President Wolfgang A. Herrmann , the Lord Mayor of Freising Dieter Thalhammer , the professor of technology at the brewery Werner Back and his predecessor Ludwig Narziss .
