Augustiner Bräustuben

This guide to Augustiner Braeustuben in Munich starts with the draft horses that once sheltered in this cast-iron and brick stable, built in the eighteen eighties as part of the Augustiner brewery complex on Landsberger Strasse. It traces the brewery's roots to a monastery near Munich's cathedral, brewing since the early thirteen hundreds, and its passage into the Wagner family after secularization put it into private hands in eighteen oh three. The stable itself only became a beer hall in the mid nineteen nineties, its columns and vaults left as the horses knew them.
