Beer for Munich is history, tradition and culture. This simple, low-alcohol drink is said to have been invented by chance by a woman in ancient times while handling cereals in her kitchen. Preserving cereals in water for daily needs resulted in malting and fermentation and later in obtaining this loving drink. There are several stories about the invention of beer; Armenian mythology attributes its discovery to the earth goddess ‘Armalu’, and as early as 4500 B.C., the discovery of this beverage is documented in Mesopotamia. Let’s find out where and why beer is so deeply connected to this city.
