Brewery, craft fair & bakery

On October 14, I visited the brewery and bakery in Aying once again. If you want to see more photos, be sure to visit my former blog posts here (2008), here (2010), and here (2011).

It's always a highlight to walk around the brewery.

It's hot and loud in there.

Pretty brown beer bottles.

From a balcony, you have a good overview over the brewery hall.

There was also a craft fair that Sunday. The doll booth drew a lot of girls.

Spices for sale.

Inside a hall, there were plenty of crafts to be admired and bought.

Pretty patchwork stuff.

Brushes.

Traditional Bavarian dresses.

Beautiful fall trees.

What splendid colors!

The bakery.

Handmade bread.

The variety of bread is amazing.

A delicious cake with red and black currants.

Pumpkins & Aying

It's another October Sunday and that means that I post something Halloween-related. Look which decoration I bought this week:

I just love the smiling and sparkling pumpkins -- and they have pretty spirals, too!

Today I made an outing to Aying, a town about 20 to 30 minutes from Munich. First I visited a bakery.

Watching how the different breads and pasteries were made.

The kids on the left side tried to make pretzels.

Those guys were the real pretzel-makers.

Auszogne -- a fried dough pastry.

Brezen -- soft pretzels.

Yummy bread.

Now on to the Ayinger Brewery across the street.

Aside from beer, you can taste and buy juice and lemonade.

There was a handicraft market both outdoors and indoors in a large hall.

So many interesting things to see.

Wooden treasures.

Here you could buy coffee and cake.

The brewery was open for the public.

It was loud, it was hot, and it was fascinating to see the bottles racing around.

There was a smell of yeast in the air.

It was also bright and shiny.

The leaves outside the window have started to change into their fall finest.

Now follow me up the staircase to an overview over the brewery.

It's a modern brewery, and yet it has an old-fashioned charm.

It was hypnotic to watch the bottles making circles.

If you want to see more brewery photos, be sure to visit my blog posts from 2008 and 2010. The latter even includes a short video, so that you can hear the noise.

Brewery and bakery in Aying

On October 10th, the brewery in Aying opened its doors to the public once again. The last time I visited that place was in 2008 and you can read all about that here. Back then I wrote: "I guess I took photos of every single beer bottle in the huge room." Yup, the same happened this time -- it's such an interesting place.

Steampunk?

So many beer bottles waiting their turn to be filled with beer.

Inside, it was warm and humid. Outside, it was sunny but cool.

On the pennant you see the logo of Ayinger brewery.

The bottles travel at high speed.

It's very loud. This time I thought of recording a short clip, so that you get a better impression.

Outside the window you see the colorful fall leaves.

One last photo of the bottles before leaving this part of the brewery.

In another building there was this wall full of tin signs of different beer brands.

I like the contrast of the past and present -- the family photo from 1906 in the background and the modern technology coordinating the brewing processes in the foreground.

So shiny!

Near the brewery, a new bakery was build. It had also opened its doors that Sunday.

That's how yummy bread is made!

The best thing was that you could taste and buy lots of the products.

Here's a closeup of one bread variety -- so delicious!
