Dark beer existed in Bavaria long before light beer and was the first type of beer to be brewed at Hofbräuhaus. Hofbräu Dunkel - the archetypal Bavarian beer - is still as popular as ever. With its spicy taste, it's a refreshing beer that suits all kinds of occasion.

Founded in 1589 by William V, Duke of Bavaria, Hofbräu has written Munich beer history and helped shape the city's beer culture.

The crowned HB Logo is known the world over and Hofbräu München is one of the last two traditional Munich breweries still in Bavarian ownership. "Hofbräu, mein München" is a passionate declaration of their commitment to Munich, its people and the Bavarian way of life.
