Airbräu

Why wait to dive into Bavarian culture? Airbräu, the world’s first airport brewery, lets you clink Maß glasses mere steps from your arrival gate. Since 1999, this sprawling beer garden has been brewing traditional beers under the Reinheitsgebot (German Beer Purity Law), with copper kettles gleaming proudly beside wooden benches. The menu is a greatest hits of Bavarian comfort food: think crispy pork knuckle, giant pretzels, and Obatzda cheese spread. Whether killing a layover or kicking off a trip, it’s a euphoric introduction to Munich’s beer scene. Just follow the scent of hops and roasted meat; it’s impossible to miss.
