In order to reconcile cost and pleasure,  Willhelm\u2019s chamberlain and counselors suggested that a ducal brewery be  built.

Preferring Weissbier (wheat  beer) to the then popular Braunbier, and possessing a savvy business  sense, he forbade all other private breweries from brewing Weissbier,  creating a regal monopoly that would not only support his court  financially, but would ensure no less than 400 years of experience in  Weissbier brewing for Hofbr\u00e4u M\u00fcnchen.<\/p>\n<p>But ducal tastes can be  fickle, and in 1613, the court was complaining that Braunbier and  Weissbier were not strong enough; they longed for the good old fortified  beer from Einbeck. A rather concerned brewmaster (Elias Pichler) got to  experimenting and produced the first Munich beer made with Einbeck  methods. This \u201cMaibock\u201d, as it was called, would not only satisfy the  court, it proved to be the salvation of the city when in 1632, during  the Thirty Years\u2019 War, the occupying Swedish army only abstained from  plundering and burning the city when appeased with 344 pails of Maibock  beer brewed in the Hofbr\u00e4uhaus brewery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once upon a time, the beers of Munich were deemed \u201cless than satisfactory\u201d for then Duke of Bavaria, Willhelm V.
