Kirchberg in Tirol, Tirol, Austria
We are a small Craft Beer Brewery based in Kirchberg in Tirol, Austria. Our brewery is located inside the Guesthouse Haus Alpenblick. Chris our head brewer is originally from New Zealand and our Beers represent the fusion of Kiwi and Austrian culture that we live. We brew on average 4,000 Litres of Beer per year and our beer is only available in bottles. We only bottle ferment. All our beers are unpasteurised, unfiltered, fragile and uniquely pure and natural. This means that we only serve them at our brewery bar and a few hand selected local restaurants. If you purchase them to takeaway you must treat them with care, keep them cool, refrain from shaking them up and keep them out of direct sunlight. The yeasts used in the beer are still alive so the beers continue to ferment and change over time. You can come and stay at the brewery, we have 20 guest rooms, and we offer beer workshops, tastings and brew days. We are open from Wednesday to Saturday from 16:00 until 21:00 and at other times by arrangement. Contact us on +436649120469 or via our website www.wildegams-anfrage.at

Es gibt sogar die Behauptung, unser Bier habe eine gesundheitsfördernde Wirkung. Zu besonderen Anlässen bieten wir auch Spezialbiere an (z. B. Osterbier).
