Brau von Aying

Aying is a small town about 20 minutes outside of Munich. I’ve visited the Ayinger brewery there on two occasions to take tours. It is definitely one of my favorite brewery tours. First off, great beers. Secondly, its a small privately run brewery – so it is run with people with heart rather than a faceless corporation. Finally, the guide (whose name eludes me at the moment) is amazing! Last time I went we got a private tour and it was exceptional. For me, a highlight is always sampling the unpasteurized beer off the line. Amazing!
