ZUM MONINGER
A booklet prepared for guests of The Moninger in Karlsruhe, Germany,1901.
This book was provided to me when I visited Karlsruhe and the Moninger Brewery in May, 2000.
Printed in German, I had a translation prepared by Evelyn Swift, a native of Karlsruhe who coincidentally is an associate of my daughter, Denise Moninger Murray.
The booklet is small (19 x 14.3 cm or 7 1/2" x 5 5/8") with a heavy paper cover, and yellowed pages bound with two metal staples. Two postcards are bound into to back of the book.
This material is placed on the World Wide Web in the hopes it will inform and educate those who find things Moninger, and/or German beer history, of interest. You may also be interested in viewing "100 Year History of Brauerei Moninger " which details the history of the Moninger Brewery from 1856 to 1956.

The Germans have the inherited virtue for thirst and still today it is a mystery to our neighbors in the South and West the way it runs like a red thread through our national development. In happy and sad days
has always been a true friend. A wise man once said "To drink a lot is not a shame - it is an honor!"
The thirst is just like the German: great and strong, steady and deep! This is the reason why a German thinks highly of the one drink that is the only one that will quench the thirst and that only can be brewed by a German:
Even the worst enemy had to admit that the art of German beer brewing was much better than their own watery and sour tasting product. Where ever fate will take him: under the palms of the South or to the foot of a mountain, in every corner of the earth the German wanderer can find this product which will make his home a paradise and when he is away from home it will become his home. But the best beer can only come from one place: a German cellar.
The people of Karlsruhe can also be proud of the beer that is being brewed in our city and is also famous outside our walls: the Moninger beer. The good name of this beer has hundreds of faithful guest come to the old house in the Kaiserstrasse and we have to thank them that we could build the big corner house next to it. We tried to build this new house in a true German way of art. This majestic building creates a little magic in this sober time of ours. It is decorated with northern Gods and heroes (now follows the names and stories of these gods and heroes).
