Augustiner Bräu Mülln

This guide to Augustiner Bräu Mülln in Salzburg walks you through the unwritten ritual every regular already knows: choosing a stone stein that has served since 1890, rinsing it at the central fountain, and paying before ever touching your beer. It traces the barrels back to Augustinian monks who first brewed beneath the Mönchsberg cliff in the early 1620s, digging cellars straight into the rock to keep their beer cool through summer. Waiting out the foam before topping off is treated less like patience than manners, the one rule nobody breaks in front of strangers.
