Celebrations for the 85th founding anniversary

To mark the anniversary of the founding of the CAW, an extraordinary regulars' table will be held on the 12th of January. On round anniversaries, on the other hand, the student members invite you to a three-day celebration in Freising. This offers you the perfect opportunity to return to your alma mater, catch up with old fellow students and celebrate the CAW together. The celebrations for the 85th anniversary of the founding of the CAW will take place from the 16th of August 2024 to the 18th of August 2024 in Freising. The event details will be constantly updated and published here.


Event programme



Extraordinary regulars' table to mark the 85th anniversary of the founding of the CAW

Time: 16.08.2024, 02:00 pm
Place: BayWa Co-Working-Space, TUM Venture Lab Food/Agro/Biotech, Gregor-von-Mendel-Straße 2, D-85354 Freising

The origins of the Club Ausländischer Weihenstephaner are based on beer, so it seems only logical that the start of our celebrations to mark the 85th anniversary of the founding of the CAW should also revolve around beer.
We will be meeting at 2.00 pm for the CAW wheat beer competition tasting event. Experience exciting wheat beers in the "classic" and "creative" categories, brewed by the Freising student body, and take an active part in the public voting and the special prize for the most beautiful bottle label. The tasting event will be accompanied by specialist lectures on the subject of hops and malt.
The tasting event will be followed by an informal CAW get-together. The winning beers from last year's CAW wheat beer competition will be on tap. If you work in the beverage industry, you are welcome to bring a crate of your own beer/beverage to present to the others. There will also be delicious snacks and, of course, the award ceremony for the CAW wheat beer competition.



Scientific morning to mark the 85th anniversary of the founding of the CAW

Time: 17.08.2024, 09:30 am
Place: BayWa Co-Working-Space, TUM Venture Lab Food/Agro/Biotech, Gregor-von-Mendel-Straße 2, D-85354 Freising

The programme for the 85th anniversary of the founding of the CAW covers all the activities of student life. In addition to the regulars' table, festive evening and Frühschoppen, there will therefore also be a scientific morning on Saturday, the 17th of August 2024, starting at 9:30 am, which will lure you back into the lecture hall. You can look forward to a lecture on current scientific research in Weihenstephan, an analysis of the situation of the CAW and the Association for the Promotion of International Students in Weihenstephan e.V. as well as a highlight from our lecture series "Taste around the World" about port wine.
