The Andechser brewery has to do without bridging aid.

It works quite well.

Yet.

Andechs - draft beer has a shelf life of between three and six months, bottled beer for up to a year.

While bottles can also be sold in grocery stores, the Andechs monastery brewery, for example, has been left with its draft beer due to the closure of the gastronomic establishments, and the expiry date has passed.

While an auxiliary umbrella opens up for other breweries, the monastery brewery remains outside because the monastery is a corporation under public law.

"We have to see that we can cope," says Martin Glaab, spokesman for the Andechs monastery and its commercial enterprises.

And this also seems to be the case.

As a corporation under public law, the monastery is not entitled to the bridging aid that other breweries and winegrowers receive.

“We are not eligible to apply,” regrets Glaab.

While others, thanks to the brewery summit last week, can expect a fixed cost reimbursement for excess draft beer in addition to the bridging aid, the Andechs monastery brewery does not get anything like this.

Decline in sales - "but not in the sharpness"

For the past few months, Glaab speaks of a “significant decline in sales”.

And yet he says with a certain degree of confidence: “Since the Andechs monastery brewery does not have that many restaurants of its own, the problem is currently not so acute for us.

At the moment we cannot estimate what kind of back beer may come.

The reason for this is that we only have a few direct business relationships with restaurants and it is currently completely unclear when the current lockdown for gastronomy will be relaxed.

We therefore advocate the most concrete possible prospect for a reopening of the catering trade. "

Incidentally, the monastery can no longer be looked at on the map.

With the exception of the annual beer output: 100,000 hectoliters.

It remained that way in the corona year 2020.

“It's stable over the year,” says Glaab.

After all, the monastery has nice ideas on how to deal with the pandemic and the lockdown: Don't be annoyed, play, for example, "reinterpreted in Andechser way".

The colorful types of beer are wonderfully suitable for this, as the photo that the monastery has published shows.
