BEER TOURING IN SALZBURG
Austria’s Historic Brewery City
Salzburg’s history of brewing beer is more than 500 years old: It reflects a great love for enjoyment and a keen effort of procuring undisputed purity and quality. It has produced well-established beers and breweries of long-standing tradition. This in turn laid the foundation for the “young creatives”, the collection of new brewers that have been enriching beer brewing in Salzburg over the last decades. These days, the ten breweries in the area in and around Salzburg are not only producing the finest beers but also know how to celebrate the enjoyment of beer drinking in multiple ways: by introducing modern production techniques, by offering exceptional beer experiences, new creative styles and specialty beers. Beer lovers and gourmets have the opportunity to learn more about their favorite drink in seminars, guided brewery tours, walking tours of the old town, or in beer sommelier courses.
Salzburg is Austria’s secret beer metropolis invites exploration to find out more about one of the oldest beverages in the history of mankind and experience its fascination today. Discover the golden brew at historic breweries on your own, or take a guided tour.
