Description

The brewery Puntigam in Graz is one of the oldest large breweries in Styria. It is located in the 17th district of Graz Puntigam and is part of the Brau Union Österreich AG. As early as 1478, a first brewery was built in the south of Graz near Feldkirchen near Graz. The name Puntigam was originally not a place name, but a family name. Located on the former "Kommerzialstraße" (today's Triesterstraße), which led to Trieste, was a mansion with adjoining inn, including a small brewery and garden. The building is dated 1772, as an inscription in an archway points to it. Of the many small breweries that originated in Graz since the 15th century, only a few could hold their own in the long run, such as the brewery Puntigam. [1]
