Biermösl Blosn was a Bavarian musical and cabaret band known for combining satirical texts with traditional folk music. It was founded in 1976 by three brothers - Hans (), Christoph () and Michael Well () - and often works with political cabaret artist Gerhard Polt. The name derives from "Beerenmoos" (berry bog), a part of the Haspelmoor in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck that was planned to be transformed in a large airport and a waste dump, and "Blosn", a Bavarian word for "group".

The band was founded in 1976 by brothers Hans () (born 1 May 1953, Willprechtszell), Christoph () (born 3 December 1959, Günzlhofen) and Michael Well () (born 10 October 1958, Günzlhofen) in Fürstenfeldbruck. Three years later, their first hit Gott mit dir, du Land der BayWa, was broadcast on the Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) television channel. The song lampoons the Bavarian national anthem changing the text to criticize massive use of fertilizer in Bavarian farming (which was at that time mostly sold by the BayWa). Following the broadcast, the band as well as the journalists at the BR were attacked for such a "sacrilege". This led to the BR not broadcasting the music of the group for years. In 1979, the group first went on stage together with Gerhard Polt. The group announced in August 2011, they will play a final concert in January 2012 and then disband. They gave their last concert in the city of Fürth, Bavaria on January, 18th, 2012.
