Despite living in the beer capital of the world, Jen Canale and her husband found themselves missing the diverse craft beer they enjoyed back in the United States, particularly IPAs. This longing led them to explore their passion for brewing, culminating in the establishment of Higgins Ale Works in 2018.

Open Wednesday through Saturday evenings you can visit the Higgins Ale Works tap room in Max Vorstadt. Try their diverse range of handcrafted ales and occasional guest beer from local craft brewers.

Take the bier lover in your life to a tasting, or better yet, book them a spot in a Higgins Ale Works Craft brewing course starting in January 2025. More info here.

P.S.

Jen Higgins one of the founders of Higgins Ale Works along with her husband Paul, was on the podcast. Find out about how and why they started craft brewing in Munich and started their tap room.
