What beers can you enjoy in Styria?

One of the largest and most famous breweries in all of Austria is definitely the Gösser brewery.

Of all the types, the GösserZwicklNaturtrüb is definitely worth a taste. You will be pleasantly surprised at the beginning by a distinctly earthy to yeasty aroma. After tasting it, the bitter hop flavour, which is accompanied by a lingering malt flavour, is not long in coming.

What beers are worth trying in Lower Austria?

Lower Austria offers visitors a number of producers, and the taste quality of their products varies a lot.

One of the better ones is offered by the Wieselburger Bier brewery, which has been brewing beer since the mid-18th century. Fans of dark beer will be pleased with the Wieselburger Schwarzbier brand. Before tasting it, you will smell the roasted and slightly caramel aroma. This caramel carries over into the taste, where there is also a light to medium bite to the beer.

What beers to try in Vienna?

You will often find small breweries in the Austrian capital. Their choice depends largely on personal preference.

We have had excellent experiences with the 7Stern Bräu brewery, for example. Here, for example, they brew a very high-quality brand of PragerDunkles. It is a dark beer where chocolate, coffee and lightly roasted flavours predominate. When you taste it, you can just feel a very slight bite.

What beer to taste in Upper Austria?

In Upper Austria, we must mention the famous FreistädterBier brewery in Freistadt. What makes it unique is that it is owned by the town's beer community and is traditionally run only by people who live outside the town walls.
