The mendicant order and the brewery are named after Francis of Paola, the founder of the order. Paulaner is one of the six breweries who provide beer for Oktoberfest, the German beer festival dating from 1810. Paulaner ranks number 18 among Germany's best-selling breweries. The name of the Paulaner brewery refers to the order of friars that resided in Neuhauser Straße in Munich who were part of the order of Saint Francis of Paola. The friars had brewed beer for their own use since 1634. The beer that was permitted to be sold on holidays was a Bock style which gained local fame. After the abolition of the Neudeck Cloister in 1799, the building was converted into a penitentiary. Franz Xaver Zacherl, the brewer, purchased the former cloister brewery and continued the "Starkbier" tradition with the product Salvator, which is Latin for "Saviour". In 1861 the "Salvatorkeller" (Salvator cellar) was opened upon Nockherberg. In 1928 the brewery merged with the Gebrüder Thomas brewery creating Paulaner Salvator Thomas Bräu. 1994 saw the acquisition into the Kulmbacher brewery group with the affiliated producers Plauen and Chemnitz. A daughter company is the Auer Bräu AG Rosenheim. Paulaner belongs to the BHI (Brau Holding International AG), a joint venture between Schörghuber Ventures (50.1%) and with the Netherlands' Heineken N.V. (49.9%). (Wikipedia contributors.

It is the task of the Innsbruck Tourist Board to “sell” the wonders of the area so that tourists from other parts of Europe--and America--want to spend their tourist dollars in Innsbruck and the surrounding area of the Alps. Innsbruck celebrated its “500 Years of the Golden Roof” in 1996--just one of the many promotions of the Innsbruck Tourist Board. What could be hard about getting tourists to spend their dollars viewing such treasures as magnificent buildings, impressive works of art, imperial residences, churches and museums? But, add to the above the grandeur of high mountains, the contrast between traditions and the vitality of a modern town--a cultural center that has evolved over 800 years of history, twice the host town to the Olympic Games, Tyrolean folklore evenings, brass bands and baroque operas--leather breeches and dinner-jackets--a university town ideal for meetings and shopping sprees. Sounding better? Some 800 years separate the completion of the first bridge over the Inn at "Ynsprugg" and the skyline of today's Tyrolean capital. The Habsburgs loved Innsbruck and made the city their royal seat. Their rich cultural heritage and the fact that Innsbruck has sporting facilities for top-class competitors and sports enthusiasts alike, attract international visitors and holiday-makers all year round. The skiing at Innsbruck is in a class of its own, but there are summer sports available too: Tennis on the courts in a beautiful setting--27 challenging holes on the golf courses-- mountain climbing, paragliding, rafting or summer skiing on the glacier. If you aren’t sold yet, there is the romantic Castle in the Renaissance style. The world renowned portrait gallery gives an insight into more than 500 years of Austrian and European history. Such is the task of the Innsbruck Tourist Board--to convince those with tourist dollars to spend--to spend it in Innsbruck.
