The world-famous brewery of Weihenstephan at Freising in the Munich suburbs is the oldest brewery in the world. The monastery of Weihenstephan (Holy Stephan, the first Christian martyr) was hounded in 724 by Irish Benedictine monk. The monastery was built on a hill, which allowed beer to mature in deep cellars. The monks were brewing by 1040, when they were granted the right to sell beers to aid their work in the community, but they were probably making beer for their own consumption earlier than this date.
