The Giesinger Bräustüberl in Munich literally swims in oil.

The inn has encountered an oil well.

Munich – delivery bottlenecks for cooking oil?

They are history for the Giesinger Bräustüberl in Munich.

The restaurant has struck a deal that gives them a staggering 22,000 liters of oil - more than enough to fry schnitzels and fries for guests through the end of the year.

Munich: beer-for-oil campaign in the Giesinger Bräustüberl

Beer for oil was the campaign with which the Giesinger inn wanted to remedy the lack of sunflower and rapeseed oil.

Every guest who brought a liter of oil got the same amount of barley juice.

Now came an offer that landlord Erik Hoffmann had never expected: 32 pallets of oil - that's 22,000 liters - were exchanged for the same amount of beer.

But who has so much oil in stock?

It is the Lesch company in Middle Franconia that disposes of and recycles used grease.

Coincidentally, they had recently concluded an agreement with a Ukrainian oil mill,” reports Sales Manager Günter Klein.

The purchase of the oil was intended as support for Ukraine.

"We didn't even know what we were going to do with it."

Then Klein stumbled across the Giesinger Bräustüberl campaign on Facebook.

"I thought that was a super good and funny idea." And: "I wanted to see how far they go." That the restaurant would actually exchange all 32 pallets for beer, he didn't think himself.

Despite the 22,000 liters of beer, it is not to be expected that the Lesch company will now be a happy and humid place.

Because the company is starting a campaign itself: "We are giving away the beer to clubs from our region that behave sustainably," says Klein.


Munich host is now swimming in oil

The Bräustüberl now has more oil than is needed.

What to do with the surplus?

Giesinger spokesman Thomas Doriath: "We give it to the restaurants that we supply with our beer - at cost price." So not at the price per liter of oil, but of beer.
