About
When the young Viennese banker Franz Schaup started brewing beer in 1858, he did not expect his small brewery to develop into one of the most successful breweries in Austria over the years.

In the meantime, the Zipf brewery near the Attersee has a proud 13 beers and 3 types of hops, the refreshment with hop lemonade for adults, to their range. A total of 170 employees work directly at the location in Zipf. They are the ones who ensure that everything runs smoothly every day and are responsible for a large part of the success of the Zipfer brand.

Despite the numerous technical innovations and a merger with Brau Union Österreich AG in 1970, the careful use of resources and brewing with natural hops were always in the foreground.

Naturhopfen Pils from Zipfer

5.2/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5
0.5 l can from a random Austrian shop. Pours golden color and thick white head that disappears quickly. In aroma both the sweet malts and bitter hops are present. In taste it’s just like its aroma, well rounded bittersweet. Its only flaw that it’s quite watery, could be heavier on body.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with, thick white head. Surprisingly vivid hops, mainly grassy-piney notes in aroma and taste. Light bodied and lively carbonated. Could be better if the hop profile wouldn’t be so harsh. Still fairly drinkable tho.
