For he satÂisÂfies the thirsty and fills
the hunÂgry with good things. (Ps. 107:9)

Abbey Beer
Our WelÂtenburgÂer Barock Dunkel dark beer is almost as famous as its home. As long as anyÂone can rememÂber, visÂiÂtors and locals alike have been enjoyÂing this dark brew. It is pleasÂant-tastÂing, full-bodÂied and has a subÂtle zest.
After sufÂfiÂcient ageÂing, it travÂels along a pipeline from the brewery’s rock cave directÂly to the tap.
The abbey brewÂery is the oldÂest abbey brewÂery still in operÂaÂtion in the world. In its curÂrent form, it is a techÂniÂcal gem whose disÂtincÂtive feaÂtures – the abbey’s own JurasÂsic spring water and an age-old brewÂing recipe in the BeneÂdicÂtine traÂdiÂtion – culÂmiÂnate in outÂstandÂing flavour through a perÂfect proÂducÂtion process.
Abbey Liqueur / Bitters
WelÂtenburgÂer KlosterÂlikör (WelÂtenburg Abbey Liqueur) and WelÂtenburgÂer KlosterÂbitÂter (Abbey BitÂters) – two speÂcialÂiÂties in the KlosterÂschenke restauÂrant made accordÂing to old recipes – a speÂcial, feel-good pleasure!
Our WelÂtenburgÂer KlosterÂlikör (WelÂtenburg Abbey Liqueur) glows in a rich, goldÂen colour – preÂcious safÂfron threads from the OriÂent are the sigÂnifÂiÂcant ingreÂdiÂent. This is comÂbined with cenÂtauÂry, bitÂter orange peel, carÂdamom, nutÂmeg and a few more ingreÂdiÂents (secret recipe) – medÂiÂcÂiÂnal herbs, just as they were used for ages in the monasÂteÂrÂiÂal pharmacies.
The 42% volÂume of alcoÂhol heightÂens the effect of the herbs. The KlosterÂlikör Abbey Liqueur has a full, zesty herbal flavour and a delÂiÂcate sweetÂness with nuances of bitÂter orange.
Our WelÂtenburgÂer KlosterÂbitÂter (WelÂtenburg Abbey BitÂters) shimÂmers in redÂdish-brown, priÂmarÂiÂly coloured by red sanÂdalÂwood. Its macÂerÂate is preÂpared with cinÂchona bark, ginÂger, bourÂbon vanilÂla, angosÂtuÂra and unripe bitÂter orange – medÂiÂcÂiÂnal herbs that proÂmote digesÂtion and are said to have an anti-inflamÂmaÂtoÂry effect.
The KlosterÂbitÂter Abbey BitÂters also have 42% alcoÂhol, with a flavour of exotÂic spices and a delÂiÂcate, refreshÂingÂly bitÂter note.
Coffee and Espresso
The artist brothÂers Egid Quirin and CosÂmas DamiÂan Asam adorn the prodÂuct labels, their appearÂance mirÂrorÂing the way they decÂoÂratÂed the abbey church with their own images. In this way, we hope that this souÂvenir will make you think back fondÂly to a wonÂderÂful day at WelÂtenburg Abbey, with its Asam church, the Danube Gorge and one of the most beauÂtiÂful beer garÂdens in Bavaria, or serve as a small present to bring a smile to your friends and acquaintances.
EspresÂso
The espresÂso we serve is a comÂbiÂnaÂtion of AraÂbiÂca beans from South and CenÂtral AmerÂiÂca and top-qualÂiÂty African cofÂfee. Due to its strong aroÂma and hearty flavour, the magÂaÂzine Der FeinÂschmeckÂer awardÂed this unusuÂal blend with the title of Best EspresÂso in Germany.
CofÂfee
Our cofÂfee is based on a balÂanced blend of Columbian cofÂfee bean types. It is charÂacÂterÂized by a mild acidÂiÂty, a subÂtle and delÂiÂcate aroÂma and a strong, round taste.
Abbey Sausage
Our deliÂcious, smoked boiled sausage is made accordÂing to a traÂdiÂtionÂal KlosterÂschenke recipe by the GierÂstorÂfer butchÂer shop in PfatÂter, and is very popÂuÂlar among our guests.
Our Abbey Cheese
The WelÂtenburg Abbey Cheese is made today accordÂing to the Klosterschenke’s traÂdiÂtionÂal recipe at a small alpine dairy in the AllÂgäu region.
This semi-hard cheese made from pasÂteurÂized milk gets its pleasÂantÂly delÂiÂcate, spicy flavour from its red smear. It is thus conÂsidÂered to be an excelÂlent cheese to eat with bread, and a perÂfect match for our WelÂtenburgÂer beers.
Ice Cream and Cake
Our cakes, layÂer cakes and homeÂmade ice cream, craftÂed by our conÂfecÂtionÂer GerÂhard HopfinÂger, are extremeÂly popÂuÂlar treats.
He uses fresh fruits and excelÂlent ingreÂdiÂents for his deliÂcious delights.
SpeÂcialÂiÂties include:
- CheeseÂcake
- Apple strudel
- Sweet yeast dumplings
- ChocoÂlate cream
- Asam layÂer cake
