Easy for you to say!
From the good people at Wikipedia:
The Weihenstephan
Brewery can trace its roots at the abbey to the year 768, as a document from
that year refers to a hop garden in the area paying a tithe to the monastery. A
brewery was actually licensed by the City of Freising in 1040, and that is the founding
date claimed by today's modern brewery. The brewery thus has a credible claim
to being the oldest working brewery in the world.[1]
(Weltenburg Abbey, also in Bavaria, was founded
around 620, and also claims to be the oldest brewery in the world.)
When the
monastery and brewery were secularised under Napoleon Bonaparte
in 1803, they became possessions of the State of Bavaria.
How about we just
call it W?
The W Festbier was
a lighter marzen style beer, with a pretty mild taste. Actually nothing remarkable about this beer, but
it was still pretty good. I could see
myself hoisting several mugs of this under and a blue and white checkered tent (did I use that line already?).
So, with only 1 beer left per country, we are all tied up!
