The Thirsty Historian - Custom Experiences in Munich & Bavaria

The Thirsty Historian was an idea created by two guys who have a passion for history while at the same time drinking one of their favorite brews, which they often find themselves doing.

Levi is from the Midwest of the United States and with the help of his well-traveled, beer-loving family and his German roots, he developed a taste for the most delicious beers available to him no matter where life takes him. After many journeys across Europe, Levi has found himself settled and loving life in Munich, Germany for the past 6 years. Quickly realizing that teaching English was not nearly as fun as explaining history and having a delicious drink while doing it, he started researching and conducting tours in 2008 and has hosted thousands of customers in the city and area related to Munich history, beer and brewing in Bavaria with a local company and privately. He quickly developed a taste for the finest and some of the oldest beers available worldwide and, adding local stories and culture, is now ready to share that with you.

John lives in The San Francisco Bay Area/ Silicon Valley, California and has traveled countless times to Europe in the search for the finest local and cultural experiences together with great company and good drinks. Visiting small and large Breweries alike, he has found many amazing beers and great people. Both of us have found that not much is better than being in a great historical location with the best company and fantastic local food and beer. We find that the Bavarian region in south Germany has everything needed to fulfill these requirements.We started The Thirsty Historian based on our love of beer, and there's place better to discover beer the way it was originally intended than in Bavaria. The beer purity laws have kept the oldest beers here as authentic and delicious as the day the beers were first tasted. Some of the beers we introduce you to are over 700 years old (they do make fresh batches though).
