With over 730 years of brewing tradition, the Brauerei Hirt is certainly one of the oldest breweries in Austria. It originally opened as a tavern that refreshed knights and Merchants who passed along the ancient Vienna-Venice Route. As in those days, the continued success of the brewery is built on a number of fundamental factors: the crystal clear Alpine Spring Water, the highest grade of ingredients, the double filtration method, the quality controls and the fact that the beer is still brewed to the same old Bohemian recipe. www.hirterbier.at
