Brauerei Vitzthum Uttendorf - Uttendorf Export

The masterly art of brewing in Uttendorf since 1600, we owe a beer of the finest brewing and spicy flavor. Brewed from unadulterated natural products to the highest quality, purity and taste criteria. The brewery and the associated brewery farm have been run by the Vitzthum family for generations with great dedication. When the Innviertler left Bavaria behind in 1779, they brought with them something important: the knowledge of how to brew a decent beer. Well, what you do well and like for almost 600 years, you will not forget that fast. Anyone who studies the history of beer brewing in the Innviertel will therefore rather find it in the Munich archives than in this country. Guaranteed: Since the mid-15th century, the Innviertler operate full-time as a brewer. Farmers and monasteries came to the beer taste earlier. Whereby the beer of that time - apart from the intoxicating effect - does not have much in common with what runs today out of the taps. Thank God you have to say well. Until the 16th century, only brown beer was brewed - an often bleak junk of grain and spiced with all sorts of things, but not with hops (it only became fashionable in the late Middle Ages). The Braunbier was only allowed to be produced and sold by Michaeli (September 29) until Maria Lichtmess (February 2). No wonder that in the 16th century people were delighted with the invention of Weissbier. At first it was allowed to brew only in Mattighofen and Passau - but at least from Georgi (24 April) to Michaeli. From then on, beer friends were off the hook all year round. Although, of course, it was not that easy again. In hot summers, the beer spoiled quickly. They made use of deep cellars, which in the winter were stocked with ice from nearby lakes and ponds. In addition, chestnut trees were set up in front of the house to provide shade - from there it was not far to the beer garden. It is no coincidence that the Innviertel still has the largest brewery density in Austria today. In the course of the beer history almost 150 breweries were counted here. No one is thirsty here.
