Austria's private breweries raise their glasses: From April 25 to 27, the third Independence Day of the Independent Private Breweries of Austria takes place. Across the country, members of the private breweries open their doors and invite beer fans to celebrate the diversity of local, craft-brewed beers. Visitors can expect a colorful program with tastings, brewery tours, and competitions. The focus is on the theme "Austrian Private Brewery – 100% Independent," which stands for genuine craftsmanship and Austrian value creation.

Vienna is also celebrating enthusiastically: The Ottakringer Brewery opens its doors and invites beer lovers to free brewery tours and live music – all in the spirit of their independence. Additionally, eight different beers are offered fresh from the tap.

We also have a great competition for you: On the occasion of the Independence Day, we are giving away 3x 5-liter party kegs from Ottakringer. Here you can participate in the raffle:

Independent Private Breweries of Austria Founded in 2021

"Our beers are not uniform products, but expressions of genuine brewing culture," emphasizes Hubert Stöhr, chairman of the association and managing director of the Schloss Eggenberg Brewery in Upper Austria. The goal is to strengthen private breweries and provide orientation and transparency for consumers.

With the help of the seal "Austrian Private Brewery – 100% Independent," which is integrated on all bottles and cans of the member companies, it aims to make visible where the respective beer comes from: From a private brewery or an international corporation.

The association was founded in September 2021 by ten private breweries and now has 45 members. Clear criteria apply for joining, the most important factor being: All breweries and their owners must be based in Austria and operate independently of international corporations – regardless of size.
