Gösser brewery

Hardly any other product of the region is as well-known as Gösser beer. It has been brewed in the Leoben-Göss district since the 19th century and the famous beer is an integral part of life in the second largest city of Styria.

With over 1000 years of history, Gösser is one of the oldest beer brands in Austria. The brewing of the beer combines centuries-old craftsmanship with high-quality, local ingredients: Spring water from a protected area, barley from regional farmers and hops from Leutschach. This care and love of nature characterizes the incomparably harmonious taste of the beer.

Gösser stands not only for quality, but also for the Austrian way of life and is known far beyond the region as a symbol of tradition and enjoyment.
