The Moral of the Story.
OF course there are other breweries
besides the Hofbrau in Munich. The
Hofbrau is merely crown property,
an Inheritance of the Wittelbachs, the
reignlng family which dates into the
ages so far that the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary. Though
beer is the national beverage, the
Government claims and has no Mono
poly. Nevertheless, the Hofbrauhaus
is still by odds the most popular re.
sort of the city.
This Hofbrauhaus was built in 1914.
Ludwig the Severe (1255 to 1904, we
are told, already possessed brewery
in Munich and under him regulations
for the brewers we're first drawn up.
In the Sixteenth 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.
Whereupon the duke monopolized the
right of brewing, and so originated
the ducal white brew.house, when, in
1889, tin the interest of the royal
purse" q "brown" or "Hofbrau-
haus" beer was again brewed in the
Hof, which was enlarged in 1851.
In l7OS brown beer was also brewed
in the "white brew-house, but since
1907 only brown beer has been
orewed.
AS early as the Fifteenth century
he brewers assumed al important
position among the tradespeople of
he town. In the year 1900 there were
already twelve beer breweries in
Munich. In 1900 q consumption of
1000 kilderkins was calculated for
he summer months alone, and for the
rear $50, 900 kilderkins, according to
which it averaged three kilderkins q
lead, for the population at that time
# 40,500. The "Einbeck" beer,
allied later "Bock" and brewed only
" the Hof, was sold for two months
eginning on Ascension day 300 years
go. The Hofbrauhaus, as said, is +
be most frequented beer house in
1unich, and the beer is regarded as
be best But the old primitive place
as been renewed and looks most a
the Hofbrauhaus rebuilt e
nd brought somewhat to date. The e
ooms, however, are still furnished in 5
he style of the time of its foundation, b
