What are the Six Breweries allowed to serve Octoberfest Beer in Munich?
« on: December 01, 2015, 08:51:05 am »
I am looking for the six breweries allowed to serve Oktoberfest beer in during the festival in Munich Germany.

I am told there is only six that are allowed and that follow the strict Reinheitsgebot Purity Laws.  Some help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you forum

Cool, I got 5 out of 6 right!  Missed Lowenbrau (I guessed Ayinger).

I missed Lowenbrau too, but I thought there were only five breweries.

Of those 6-
Hacker-Pschorr is owned by Paulaner. 49% of Paulaner is owned by Heineken.

Löwenbräu was bought by Spaten. Spaten was bought by InBev, now ABInbev.

Hofbräuhaus is the state owned brewery.

Augustiner is still independent.
