"Franziskaner's roots can be traced back to 1363. It was in this year that the brewer Seidel Vaterstetter is first mentioned as the owner of the 'brewery next to the Franciscans' in the Munich Residenzstrasse. The name 'Franziskaner' derives from the Franciscan monastery diagonally across the street." - Their Website
A friend of mine, Erik, Son of Peter once remarked how much he enjoyed Franziskaner. I took his word for it then, but now I have to say that this is truly a refreshing beer. I would rank this second to Wienstephaner, but a close second, for the most truly refreshing beer that I have had.
It's name is as old as 1363. It has a lengthy history, and it's easy to taste why. I've seen this around a lot of places, so it should be relatively easy to find.
