The Thirsty Historian was an idea created by two guys who have a passion for history while at the same time drinking one of their favorite brews, which they often find themselves doing. Levi is from the Midwest of the United States and with the help of his well-traveled, beer-loving family and his German roots, he developed a taste for the most delicious beers available to him no matter where life
takes him. After many journeys across Europe, Levi has found himself settled and loving life in Munich, Germany for the past 14 years. Quickly realizing that teaching English was not nearly as fun as explaining history and having a delicious drink while doing it, he started researching and conducting tours in 2008 and has hosted thousands of customers in the city and area related to Munich history, beer and brewing in Bavaria with a local company and privately. He quickly developed a taste for the finest and some of the oldest beers available worldwide and, adding local stories and culture, is now ready to share that with you. John lives in The San Francisco Bay Area/ Silicon Valley, California and has traveled countless times to Europe in the search for the finest local and cultural experiences together with great company and good drinks. Visiting small and large Breweries alike, he has found many amazing beers and great people. Both of us have found that not much is better than being in a great historical location with the best company and fantastic local food and beer. We find that the Bavarian region in south Germany has everything needed to fulfill these requirements. We started The Thirsty Historian based on our love of beer, and there's place better to discover beer the way it was originally intended than in Bavaria. The beer purity laws have kept the oldest beers here as authentic and delicious as the day the beers were first tasted. Some of the beers we introduce you to are over 700 years old (they do make fresh batches though).

Day 3 of adventures with our group!
We traveled south to the Bavarian Alps 🏔 Our morning started with a train ride to Lake Schliersee followed by a picturesque hike up to the Schliersbergalm biergarten! After a small break, we took an alpine slide down the mountain side and trained back to Munich in time for Frühlingsfest night #2 at the Augustiner Festhalle Bayernland🍻
Was an incredible day to close out our Bavarian adventure!
Up Next: 🇮🇹 Italy 🇮🇹
Prost! 🍻 🍷

Day 2 group tour continued!
We had a beautiful evening at the Hippodrom tent at Munich’s Frühlingsfest. After a delicious 3 course meal, the tables were quickly cleared, lights dimmed and everybody got up on the benches to dance all night to the live music!
It was a perfect feeling of Bavarian gemütlichkeit with the amazing atmosphere!

Day 2 with the Transylvania University group!
We started the day off with some medieval history and education with a private tour of the Andechs monastery brewery from 1455. It included a guided tour of the brewery and tasting of multiple beers before a visit to the beautiful hilltop buildings and lunch at the local Bräustüberl.
After this visit we took a stroll along the beautiful Lake Ammersee before heading back to Munich for a Frühlingsfest beer tent night!

Slyrs! 👌 More impressions of an awesome, beautiful place to enjoy whiskey tasting from a local Bavarian distillery!
Another perfect afternoon at . I love the tour and people in the tasting room. Just an hour away from Munich in the Bavarian Alps.
The Isar River rafts have started running for the season! On this fun experience you float down Munich’s river for 5-6 hours with a live band, barrels of beer, lunch stop with a grill party and a chance to swim along the way.

For 10 days we will be with this amazing group from Transylvania university in Kentucky, USA! We are taking al 30 of them around Munich, the Bavarian Alps and to Venice, Florence and Bologna.
They’ve been a blast to take around so far! 😁🍻
Here are some photos from the airport welcome with Prosecco, beer hall dinner evening with our own wooden barrels of beer and a late night city walk tour on day 1.

Anyone else have this problem? 😆
Andauernd 😆
Guten Morgen from Munich! We are about to meet a large tour group that we will be taking around Bavaria and Italy for the next 10 days.
Before every tour we always check on any changes in the area. There’s often new construction or some new pop-up shops that we haven’t seen.
Of course, we need to stop by a Biergarten or two to make sure the beer and atmosphere is still great!
We always love passing by the historic sites we’ve seen so many times over the years. They never get old!

Some amazing shots of the Andechs monastery and brewery!

Paulaner Bräuhaus in München! Over the years we've been able to enjoy unforgettable experiences here with so many people and are excited to create more! Great brewery, great bier, and great atmosphere! We are here so often we achieved a Stammtisch (regulars table) and a bierkrug locker! 🍻
1889 is when the brewery began as Thomasbräu. Paulaner merged with the brewery in 1928. The name Paulaner-Thomasbräu (which is seen on the bierkrug) was used until 1994 and then became solely Paulaner!
The bier brewed here is not available anywhere else, so it is a one of kind and the bier flight samples are quite generous! 🍻
Stay Thirsty for History!
Prost
Paulaner Bräuhaus Biergarten
An amazing brewery in Franconia, Brauerei Kundmüller near Bamberg, won some great awards at the World Beer Cup 2024!

Oktoberfest 2024 is brewing! 🍻 Only 145 days until the worlds biggest beer fest begins!
Who will be in Munich for the 2024 festivities?
Prost! 🍻
The weekend has arrived!
🍻Prost🍻
Today was the Day of German Beer! On April 23, 1516, the Bavarian Beer Purity Laws or Reinheitsgebot was passed in Ingolstadt.
This is oldest food law in the world still used today! Originally, only the purest barley malt, water and hops were allowed in the brews. With only a few changes since then, most local breweries still strictly stick to this law of brewing and you will find it on almost every beer label in Bavaria.
Normally we would be celebrating at the world’s oldest brewery at Weihenstephan or at the free beer fountain in Munich, but the festivities were cancelled because of our wintery weather this year… 😔 We still had some great beers in honor of this beer law and tradition.
Which beer brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot is your favorite?

Sampling some tasty beers made at the Starkenberg Castle on a mountainside in the Austrian Alps. 😁🍻
In addition to some great brews and food with some amazing views, they offer special brewery tours where you can get a closer view of brewing, dine like a king in the Knight’s Hall and possibly soak in one of their beer spas!

It was a beautiful night walking in Munich’s old town recently. The Hofbräuhaus is always such an iconic sight and a warm stop to take in some great drinks, atmosphere and company!
There are still around 3,500 regulars with their own Stammtisch, or regular’s table, at this iconic beer hall.
They mostly come every week with their friends and family, often in their best lederhosen and dirndls, unlock their ceramic liter mug from one of the hundreds of mug lockers and enjoy some Bavarian Gemütlichkeit with others.

This past weekend we enjoyed a pretty "cool" overnight stay in an igloo at Iglu-Dorf in Kühtai, Austria 😎 We first enjoyed live music and warm drinks with a fun group of guests! We toured the igloos and village. Each igloo had a different look with unique snow art designed by hand and could sleep 2 to 5 people.
Once the sun started to set, we then ventured on a snowshoe hike. The evening finished with a fondue dinner and a relaxing sauna under the stars!
In the morning, we were greeted with a coffee/tea delivery to our igloo cabin which was followed by a hearty breakfast.
These amazing works of art can be located at locations within just 3 hours from Munich by car. We would definitely recommend adding this to your travel experience here with us in the Winter/Early Spring season!
Prost! 🧊🍺🧊

Amazing biergarten weather at the world’s largest biergarten of Hirschgarten with close to 10,000 seats in Munich! Hirschgarten means deer park or garden. This was a former hunting area of Bavaria’s royal family next to their huge Nymphemburg palace and still has deer fenced in right next to the biergarten thst you can feed. In the biergarten you can take your own clean liter Maßkrug off the shelf, rinse it with fresh, cold water and bring it to the wooden barrels for a fresh tapped beer!

Typical Biergarten rules in Munich: After 5pm only liters (Maß)! A Maß is an old term which means a good measure of beer. 🍺 It’s definitely our favorite sized mug and fits well with Munich’s amazing Biergarten culture. This is at our favorite city biergarten at the Augustiner Keller with around 6,000 seats.

Sunset rodelbahn ride at Wallberg ☀️ With the recent large amount of snowfall here in Bavaria, many ski routes and rodelbahn (toboggan sledding) routes opened early! We celebrated the first big snowfall by taking a cable car to the top of Wallberg and then rode 6 kilometers down the mountain side on our sleds. It was gorgeous and cold but such an incredibly fun experience we highly recommend! Where is your favorite place to go sledding?

Last days of Oktoberfest or, the Wies’n, as locals would say. We always enjoy the fresh homemade beers nearby at the Paulaner Bräuhaus beer hall and brewery. We are at the Oktoberfest to close it out after 18 amazing days! The name comes from the Theresienwiese Park where Oktoberfest has taken place since the wedding of Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria and Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen in 1810. The name Theresienwiese means Theresa’s Meadows. Although it’s not much of a meadow anymore, it’s amazing the location has remained the same since the beginning! www.thethirstyhistorian.com #munich #beer #beertour #beerhistory #paulanerbrauhaus #paulanerbräuhaus #oktoberfest #octoberfest #therhirstyhistorian
2nd stop on our Day Trip to the two oldest breweries in the world of Weltenburg and Weihenstephan! This is the biergarten of Schneider’s Wheat Beer Brewery in the medieval village of Kelheim where you can try their wide range of wheat beers. Schneider’s started in Munich’s old town im Tal in 1872 where they still have a great restaurant and beer hall. The brewery acquired this medieval wheat beer brewery in 1928 in Kelheim and all brewing operations moved there after WWII. www.thethirstyhistorian.com #munich #beer #beertour #beerhistory #oktoberfest #octoberfest #schneiderweisse #kelheim #brauereiführung #weissesbrauhaus
