The popular Giesinger beer has been brewed on Giesinger Berg since 2012. Later this year, a second Giesinger Bräu brewery, currently under construction, will open.

Naturally, all beers are brewed according to the German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot). Depending on the variety, they contain different malted grains. Let's take a closer look.
The individual varieties
A total of 26 different beers have been brewed at Giesinger Bräu. Anyone visiting the brewery will find at least 10 of these varieties on site or on the menu at the Giesinger Bräustüberl (brewery taproom). The main beers are Giesinger Weissbier (wheat beer), Giesinger Märzen (March beer), Untergiesinger Erhellung (light lager), Giesinger Dunkel (dark beer), Münchner Pils (Munich pilsner), and Giesinger Radler (shandy).
