History

Establishment

Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier
Weihenstephan at "Haus der 100 Biere" in Berlin

Until the 1950s, the brewery described its date of foundation as the year 1146. At this time, a document allegedly dating to the year 1040 resurfaced. In it, Otto I, Bishop of Freising, bestowed a brewing right upon the abbey. The document is generally dismissed as a forgery from the early 1600s.[4] The first written record of the brewery dates to the year 1675.[3] Another source, dating to 768, indicates the presence of a hop garden nearby.[3]
