Brauerei Aying (Ayinger)
Johann Liebhard poured the first beer in Aying on 2 February 1878; the brewery passed through his daughter to the Zehentmair family and in 1936 to the Inselkammers, who still run it. A new brewhouse on the edge of the village opened in 1999. The BJCP lists six Ayinger beers as classic examples: Celebrator, a doppelbock; Altbairisch Dunkel; Bräu-Weisse, a Weissbier; Ur-Weisse, a dark wheat beer; a Maibock; and a Weizenbock.
