History

The history of the Ayinger Bräustüberl is closely linked to two historic Ayinger farms and the families who lived there: „Sixthof“ – now the Museum of local history – and the estate „Zum Pfleger“. According to records from the 16th century, both originally belonged to Bernried Abbey.

The "Zum Pfleger" estate with the Ayinger manor house, today's brewery inn and old brewery premises became the ancestral home of the Liebhard family, the direct ancestors of today's owner family Inselkammer, around 200 years ago. In 1878, Johann Liebhard and his father Peter Liebhard founded the Ayinger brewery behind the manor house.

Until the end of the 19th century, twelve generations of the Schuster family managed the "Sixthof" for the Bernried monastery. After secularisation in 1803, the farm became their property. In 1873, Anton Schuster founded the first brewery in Aying. A small brewhouse with a vaulted cellar and its own beer tap was built on the east side of the Sixthof: Today's "Bräustüberl".

When Anton Schuster died in 1890, his 20-year-old son Kaspar had to take over the "Sixthof" and the brewery. It was probably the debts from the construction of the brewery that led to the ruin of the farm and the sale of the individual buildings. The farm initially went to a brewery owner in nearby Siegertsbrunn. On October 30, 1897, it was finally acquired by the great-great-grandfather of the current generation, Johann Liebhard.

In 2013, the Inselkammer family took over the management of the Ayinger Bräustüberl and brought it back to its roots after a careful renovation: As a pub where the enjoyment of a freshly tapped beer and a hearty snack has been a tradition for more than a hundred years.

The beer garden was redesigned in spring 2016: The freshly tapped Ayinger beer tastes twice as good at larger tables, beer benches with backrests and an unobstructed view of the historic Sixthof courtyard.
