No matter how hectic it gets in the Augustiner tent, you won’t see it on the waitresses’ faces. Because this tent is considered to be the “friendliest” tent at Oktoberfest, it is often a favorite stop for families. They even have a kids’ day every Tuesday with lower prices on the beer (not for the kids, of course!).
The Augustiner beer had been brewed, since 1328, for nearly 500 years in the monastery of the Augustinian brotherhood near the cathedral of Munich. After the secularization 1803 and the following privatization, Augustiner Bräu moved into the Neuhauser Straße (Road to Neuhaus) in 1817, where the famous principal firm still stands. 1829 the Wagner family took over the company, which was transferred 1885 into the "Kellerareal" (cellar area) at the Landsberger Straße (Road to Landsberg). The Augustiner Beer Tent has had the same manager for the last sixteen years: Manfred Vollmer.
The Augustiner Beer Tent serves its beer to over 8,500 patrons a day from individually tapped wooden kegs rather than the Oktoberfest standard of stainless steel vats.
