other_beers =The Ayinger Brewery (pronounced "eye-ing-gr"; _de. Brauerei Aying) is a medium-sized German
brewery located inAying ,Bavaria , about 25 km from Munich. Approximately 10% of Ayinger beers are exported, mainly toItaly , theUnited States , and the rest ofEurope . Ayinger beers have been frequent award winners in international beer competitions. [http://www.restaurant-hospitality.com/article/16735/] [http://www.merchantduvin.com/pages/1_about/champion.html]For some years, a range of beer was brewed under the "Ayingerbrau" name by Samuel Smith's Brewery in
Tadcaster ,United Kingdom . Although the Ayinger logo was used, the recipes and range were different from those of the Ayinger Brewery. The arrangement ended in spring 2006, at which point Samuel Smith's rebranded the beers. Distribution of the Ayinger range of beer followed that summer. Because theOktoberfest in Munich does not allow breweries outside its city limits to participate, Ayinger Brewery organizes many smaller festivals in the countryside aroundMunich . [Jackson, Michael.
