CAW Events
Even the most diligent student needs a little break from time to time to recover and recharge his or her batteries for their studies. The Club Ausländischer Weihenstephaner offers a varied programme of events both during the lecture period and during the holidays. Whether sports, education, art and culture, or simply socialising, at the CAW, you will find the right event for you!

CAW Regulars' Table During the lecture period, we hold our CAW regulars' table at the Sammamera in Freising every Wednesday at 8:00 pm. The regulars' table is a meeting place for international students to get to know each other and exchange ideas. Those interested can also take the opportunity to taste the local beer specialities. |
 |
Tasting Events We promote brewing and teaching beverage technology skills outside the university. You don't have to be a brewing student to benefit from this. The CAW experts professionally prepare information about the beverage to be tasted and guide you through the tasting. As a guest, all you have to bring is interest and curiosity. We regularly taste beer, but also wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages. |

International Movie Nights The CAW's international movie nights offer the opportunity to fully immerse oneself in the culture of the respective host country. The film screening is preceded by a tasting of drinks typical of the country with a special focus on the beverage-technological background, often accompanied by small appetisers typical of the country. At the screening itself, award-winning films from the host country are shown with the original soundtrack and English subtitles. In addition, there are other dishes typical of the country as well as desserts. |

Hiking Trips A hiking trip combines sport and nature experience. Freising's location makes it an ideal starting point for a variety of hikes, be it to the nearby Alps, along the Isar river or right next door to the Freisinger Moos. As a rule, our hikes are day trips, but sometimes we spend a night in a mountain hut on longer trips. |
 |
Company and Factory Tours How is a particular drink or food actually made? How is a wine barrel or a bottling machine produced? All these questions can best be answered through factory tours. These expert tours – often conducted directly by our alumni – provide participants with exciting insights into the production processes and complement the grey theory from the lecture hall. |
Here you can find the current events of the CAW. We are looking forward to your participation!

Campus tour at the TUM School of Life Sciences Weihenstephan
For many students, the adventure of their stay abroad begins in the summer semester. A new country, a new language and, of course, a new campus. At least we can help with the latter. As part of the International Office's Welcome Day, the CAW takes over the campus tour. Join us on the one-hour tour to discover all the places that are important for your studies, as well as the Bavarian State Brewery, Lecture Hall 13, the Language Center and much more. |

Taste around the World – Smoked Beer
While smoked beers were widespread before industrialization due to malt drying over an open wood fire, these days they are regional specialities. During our excursion to Bamberg, the CAW had the opportunity to visit Heller-Bräu Trum (Schlenkerla), which still produces its own smoked malt for its own use. Of course, we brought selected delicacies with us, which we would like to taste together with you. The lecture “Taste around the World - Smoked Beer” offers an interesting insight into the history and production process of smoked beers. To consolidate what we have learned, we will then taste the following smoked beers:

CAW @ International Day Weihenstephan
When international students present their home countries as part of International Day Weihenstephan, the Club Ausländischer Weihenstephaner is obviously not far away. We are delighted to be represented again with our own booth. Get to know the CAW and discover the variety of international beer specialties during a beer tasting. As a highlight there will be Sahni Beer, the Thai Lager of our dear custodian Sanharpoth. |

CAW Pentecost excursion to Schorschbräu
Do you like to drink strong beers? A Doppelbock with 8 % vol., a Belgian Quadrupel with 11 % vol. or a Barrel-Aged Barley Wine with 14 % vol. How about a wheat beer with 15 % vol., an Eisbock with 30 % vol. or even the strongest beer in the world with 57 % vol.? |

Excursion to drinktec 2025 as well as CAW Alumni Meeting
It's that time again. The beverage industry meets in Munich and the CAW is right in the middle of it. Together we will visit our CAW alumni as well as friends, guests and honorary members of the CAW at drinktec 2025. Over a beer or two, we will find out about new products and innovations in the beverage and liquid food sector. Accompany the CAW to selected exhibitors or explore the trade fair on your own. Afterwards, we will round off the day at the CAW alumni meeting. We look forward to your participation!
