Augustiner beer
A beer brand from the Munich brewery Augustiner-Bräu, or a glass of this beer.
Im Biergarten trinke ich am liebsten ein kühles Augustiner.
In the beer garden, my favorite thing to drink is a cold Augustiner.
The word is derived from the name of Saint Augustine. The ending '-er' is often used in German to refer to a person who belongs to a group (such as a member of a religious order) or comes from a place.
Der berühmte Reformator Martin Luther war einst ein Augustiner.
The famous reformer Martin Luther was once an Augustinian.
You can recognize the meaning clearly from the context. Words like 'trinken' (to drink), 'bestellen' (to order), or 'Biergarten' (beer garden) point to the beer. Terms like 'Orden' (order), 'Mönch' (monk), or 'Kloster' (monastery) indicate the religious meaning. A reference to the city 'Augsburg' makes the rare term for an inhabitant clear.
Bestellen wir noch ein Augustiner?
Shall we order another Augustiner?
When referring to the beer, 'Augustiner' is often treated like a quantity expression. Typical phrases are 'ein kühles Augustiner trinken' (to drink a cold Augustiner), 'ein Augustiner bestellen' (to order an Augustiner), or 'eine Flasche Augustiner kaufen' (to buy a bottle of Augustiner).
Für mich bitte ein Augustiner vom Fass.
An Augustiner on tap for me, please.
The term 'Augustiner' for an inhabitant of Augsburg is very rare and is hardly used in everyday speech. It is more of a historical or humorous designation.
