The Brewery.

Klosterbrauerei Oberelchingen is a traditional monastic brewery located in the village of Oberelchingen, near Ulm in Bavaria. Originally tied to the Benedictine monastery founded in the 12th century, the brewery reflects centuries of brewing heritage typical of Bavarian Klosterbrauereien. While the monastery itself was secularized in the early 19th century, the brewery continued and is now a small, locally focused operation. Known for classic, unpretentious German beer styles like Helles and Dunkel, it serves the surrounding community and regional beer lovers with a strong sense of tradition.
