This pic is the pedestrian area leading to Augusteiner brewery near my work in Munich. Augustiner is 680 years old and Munich's oldest brewery.
The history of Augustiner-Bräu has begun in 1294, when the cornerstone of the Augustinian monastery was laid at the Haberfeld next to the Neuhauser Gasse. Documentary proof exists that already in 1328 an excellent beer was brewed within the walls of the freshly completed building. A major fire raged in Munich that year as well and the monastery is known to have been spared, therefore 1328 is considered the foundation date of the Augustiner brewery, thereby being the oldest of all existing breweries resident in Munich.
