Gösser brauerei

Wohl kaum ein Erzeugnis aus der Region ist so bekannt wie das Gösser Bier. Im Stadtteil Leoben-Göss wird seit dem 19. Jahrhundert gebraut, und das berühmte Bier ist fester Bestandteil des Lebens in der Stadt.

Mit über 1000 Jahren Geschichte zählt Gösser sogar zu den ältesten Biermarken Österreichs. Das Brauen des Biers vereint jahrhundertealte Handwerkskunst mit hochwertigen, heimischen Zutaten: Quellwasser aus einem geschützten Gebiet, Gerste von regionalen Bauern und Hopfen aus Leutschach. Diese Sorgfalt und die Liebe zur Natur prägen den unvergleichlich harmonischen Geschmack des Biers.

Gösser steht nicht nur für Qualität, sondern auch für die österreichische Lebensart und ist weit über die Region hinaus als Symbol für Tradition und Genuss bekannt.
