To effect the summer brewing without injury
to the quality OF the beer, very effective cooling
apparatus is employed. Tue ermenting cellars

The MUNICH BREwERIEs.
These statistics of the great Austrian brew.
cries cannot be matched on the Continent; but
Munich is better known as a brewing region
than Vienna. The brewerles of MHnich are
freely thrown open TO young brewers, and thirty
years since Dr. Kaiser, Neurological Professor
in the University Of Munich, established a
course of scientific lectures on the subject,
which have been attended by more than Il thou
sand young men. One Of the famous Bavarian
bTeweries in Munich has given practical lnstrnc-
tiOn to more than three hundred OF these pupils.
The production of beer has been doubled IN
Bavaria in thirty years, and at the same time
the number of breweries has diminished;
machinery has to a great extent replaced hand
labor, and this has led to the formation OF very
extensive establishments.
THE KING OF BAVARIA BREWER.
In Munich there are sixteen bre weres in ope
ration, two of which are worked for account oil
the King of Bavaria, thirteen belong to private
individuals, and one TO monastery. Nurem
berg has tWenty'fouT, and Augsburg seventy-one.
In point ofquantity OF beer Munich outstrips all
her competitors.
BEER AND WINE.
While the manufacture and consumption o.
beer is rapidly increasing, wine Is as quickly
decreasing. Twenty years ago there were II
vineyards under cultivation, which produced
annually 1000 900 eimers, or 30, 900, 600 galloh
of wine There are now only 66, 600 yochs o
vineyards producing ,O46, 900 eimers or 49, 600,
900 gallons.
During the same time the manufacture Of
beer has increased from l,400, 600 eimers, Ol
q 00CG0 gallons, TO 100000 eimers, ol
100000 gallons, being more than double
This last quantity was brewed in 1865, aud by
the former years. rate of growth it may salel
be calculated that the consumption now
amounts to 81, 900, 900 gallons.
There are at present ia bTeWeries at work
employing 1900 workmen, aud have 80 steam
engines of 750 horse power. Each workman
produces 1000 eimers, or 10000 gallons of beel
yearly. The WOrkmen's wages are to Ia fOrint
per day i59 to 75 cents), with board aud
lodging.
