Hofstettner Original Wedding Beer

For lovers, the wedding day is one of the most important and beautiful days of their lives In front of their family and friends, they declare their feelings for each other, toast their love with champagne and spend an exuberant day celebrating the fact that they have each other and plan to spend the rest of their lives together

Things were probably a little different for Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen Not only was she unable to choose her husband herself, but legend has it that she also had a bad toothache on the day that was to herald the wedding festivities, which lasted five days: Therese and her Ludwig were married on 12 October 1810 and then went through a program that included concerts, an opera, a ball, a horse race and a folk festival Although the future Queen of Bavaria withdrew early due to her toothache, the locations of the festival were named after her The Theresienwiese in Munich was given her name and from then on was the venue for the annual Oktoberfest, which is held year after year in memory of the aristocratic wedding

Naturally, a whole series of beers were brewed in honor of the bride and groom - one of which still exists The original wedding beer was created by the Hochstetten brewery and is still produced today according to a recipe dating back to 1810
