> all the breweries that operate tents are local breweries.

The brewery is local, but the profits go elsewhere:

- Löwenbräu, Spaten, Franziskaner: Anheuser-Busch-InBev

- Hacker Pschorr: doesn't even exist as a brewery, the brand is owned by a local construction baron and Heineken, the beer is brewed by Paulaner.

The only independents (made a mistake above, it's actually two) are Augustiner which is privately held and Hofbräu which belongs to the government.
