Bavarian dukes, foreign merchants and diplomats spent time here. The situation changed in the 19th century, when King Ludwig I demanded to reduce the cost of beer by 20%so that the military and workers could also afford to skip in a circle.
Today, a restaurant with three halls and a beer garden can take up to 4,000 people at the same time. Every minute, according to employees, more than 50 liters of beer are drunk here. Not far from the institution is a museum. He tells visitors about the history of Hofbrohaus and German brewing as a whole.
