Hofbrau in Munich The Hofbrau
is merely a crown property, an in
heritance of the Wittelbachs, the
reigning family, which dates into the
ages 90 far that the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary. Though
beer is the national beverage, the
Government claims and has no mo-
ncpoly. Nevertheless, the Hofbrau-
haus is still by odds the most popu-
lar resort of the city.
This Hofbrauhaus was built in
1644. Ludwig the Severe (l255 to
12e4), we are told, already pos
sessed a brewery in Munich and un-
der him regulations for the brewers
were first drawn up. In the Six
teenth century the white wheaton
beer came from Bohemia TO Munich
and took the place Of the brown
barley-beer. The brewing Of this
beer was, however, stopped by the
police authorities because it was held
TO be injurious to health. Where
upon the duke monopolized the right
Of brewing, and so originated the
ducal white brew-house, when, il
1889, Gin the interest of the royal
purse" a "brown" OF "Hofbrau
haus" beer was again brewed in tn,
Hof, which was enlarged in 1881.
In 17os brown beer was als'
brewed in the "white brew-house, ,
but since 1907 only brown beer hai
been brewed
As early as the Fifteenth centur.
the brewers assumed an importan
position among the tradespeople Q
the town. In the year 1900 ther
we're already twelve beer brewerie
in Munich. In 1900 a consumptio
of $4,000 kilderkins was calculate
for the summer months alone, an
for the year 10000 kilderkins, &C
cording to which it averaged tbre
kilderkins a head, for the populs
tion at that time Of 40,50o. Th
" Einbeck beer, called late
" Book " and brewed only by tn
Hof, was sold for two months bs
ginning on Ascension day 800 year
ago. The Hofbrauhaus, as / said,
the most frequented beer house i
Munich, and the beer is regarded a
the best. But the old primitive plac
has been renewed and looks mot
respectable, the Hofbrauhaus rebuff
and brought somewhat to date. tn
rooms, however, are still furnished j
the style Of the time Of its found,
tion, and sc decorated with pain
ings. Deer heads adorn the anti
chamber in the first story. Passin
through this room we come to tn
large hall with a vaulted roof an
Gothic windows, allegories and mo
toes on the walls between the VIII
dows, and at the ends symbolici
mural paintings. From the roof al
suspended chandeliers with electr
light. In the entresol there is
richly decorated 'Trinkstube, - an
everywhere one meets an air of m
dieval grace with modern comfort.
