About
Amazing beers, plenty of creativity and a good portion of urban zest for life: these are the most important ingredients for our success. As Vienna’s oldest brewery, we have been known for having the highest quality and an extraordinary diversity of flavour for over 180 years. Our brewery resides in the heart of Vienna and has developed into a pulsating event location in accordance with our cosmopolitan flair. Here, in the heart of Ottakring, culinary and culture blend into a unique, delicious mixture.
The Ottakringer Brewery is the last remaining large Viennese brewery, and also one of the last large, independent breweries in Austria. This independence is extremely important to us as a family-run company. Our approximately 150 employees do everything in their power to keep it that way. The most important keys to our success are high-quality products, a wide variety of beers and our hunger for life, which has become our trademark.

500ml can. Pours clear dark gold with a medium-sized off white head. Aroma is grain, toasted bread, spicy hop and caramel notes. Taste is dry, toasted malt, hops, grassy bitterness. Light to medium bitter finish. Not that much caramel, which surprised me. Encroaching on polotmavy territory.

Not a bad Vienna lager, lots of toasted bread, toffee, and apple, underlined by a gentle floral bitterness and a yeasty, bready fade. Very easy to drink, even if there’s the slightest smidge of Euro skunk.

A Vienna lager from Vienna. I guess this is the real deal. 1 pint can from The Mansion. Pours a clear deep gold color with a khaki head and excellent retention. Great lacing too. Malty aroma. Malty lager flavor to match the nose and a bready finish. A little Euro lager flavor and not as sweet or caramelly as I expected. Slightly crisp mouthfeel. Clean and smooth. No bitterness. A very good Euro lager.

Bottle form the cheap discount in Radotín. Slightly hazy amber body, a bit dark for a heller bock, lazy, full carbonation going to a creamy off white head with medium retention. Malt-driven aroma, slightly gone, dry maltiness, caramel, some brown sugar, some light green apple. Smooth malty taste, grainy and honey notes, some oxidation near the finish, but in general a fairly generic bock. Past BB by 6 months, will be rerated if possible fresh.
