Beer in ERZBERG LEOBEN

The more the merrier! Perhaps that’s what the beer sommeliers of Erzbergbräu were thinking when they enriched the beer culture in ERZBERG LEOBEN with a new brand in 2012 – we don’t know for sure.

What we do know, however, is that the two regional malt beverages make the hearts of beer lovers beat faster. While Gösser beer has been known as "Austria's best beer" far beyond the region for quite some time now, Erzbergbräu brings a refreshingly new taste to ERZBERG LEOBEN.

Die Brauerei Göss, die einst Teil des historischen Stiftes Göss war, wurde 1860 von Max Kober erworben und wiederbelebt. Seitdem hat Gösser einen unvergleichlichen Weg zurückgelegt, immer gestärkt von der eindrucksvollen Tradition. Heute zählt die Brauerei Göss zu den modernsten Brauereien des Landes und bleibt stolz auf ihre Wurzeln als Geburtsstätte von Österreichs bestem Bier. Gösser Bier, ein Symbol für Qualität, Genuss und eine jahrhundertealte Brautradition.
