Established in 1842

Description
It all started in 1842 when Franz Schnaitl decided not only to rebuild the inn, which had been destroyed in a fire, but also to found a brewery. 175 years later Matthias Schnaitl IV is managing director and is aware of the living tradition of his family history: “We - our family and our brewery - are firmly rooted in our region.
Purely Austrian barley malt, Mühlviertel aroma hops and crystal-clear water from our own deep well are brewed to the beers Original, Pils de luxe, Florian - Spezial, Festbock and the dark. Since beer needs enough time, it is given to him in the Schnaitl brewery: one week of main fermentation in the fermentation cellar and another five weeks in the storage cellar before it is gently filtered and bottled or vatted. The carefully selected ingredients from the region, tried-and-tested recipes and decades of experience in processing ensure that the beers have a fine, unobtrusive mildness. The motto here is "Quality instead of quantity".

0,3l from tap at a pub in Mödling like a week ago. dark brown colour, small off white head. smells of caramel, spices, tobacco, dark bread notes. decent smell. medium body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of spices, licorice, some tobacco, light breadish, very light caramel. finishes lightly dry with notes of spices, licorice and caramel. rather light on the flavor side, but overall decent Dunkles, luckily only lightly sweet.

Pours a clear, yellow golden color, topped with a medium sized, white and foamy head that settles fairly quick. Very fresh grassy aroma, crisp and clean. A bit bready malt upfront, taste mildly sweet, followed by a moderate bitterness. Crisp. Fresh. Light. A bit herbal aftertaste but otherwise a decent pils.

At a tasting, thanks Werckmeister, small bubbly head, a touch intense yellow color, aroma of fruit wood vanila and a hint of toothpaste, aroma of fruit candy and toothpaste, light to medium bitterness, lightish sourness, a little too sweet and unbalanced. Fair.

Letztes Mal getrunken am 21.2.2026
Ein nettes Pils mit einer schönen hopfigen Note. Hier hat man sich wohl bemüht, aber an die aromatischen Pils-Bier, welche manche andere Brauerei schafft, kommt man nicht ganz heran. Kann man trinken, muss man aber nicht.

Pours a clear golden color, topped with a small and non-lasting white head. Grassy notes aroam with some funky old wine cellar feel. Some spices present. Taste is mildly sweet. Spicy body with bazooka gum presence which is more present in finish and in aftertaste. Slight bitterness, almost none.
