750 years of Hirt beer

750 years of Hirt beer

Real passion for Real Beer

Brewing has been a real passion at Hirt for 750 years.
One thing has always been clearly in the foreground: the quality of the beers.

As Carinthia's oldest private brewery with 750 years of tradition, we are fully dedicated to our craft – all the more so in our anniversary year.

2020 was a very special year for us. A year in which we celebrated the real thing.

The Real Beer.

"It takes more than tradition to make real beer. Equally important are regionality, excellent raw materials, original craftsmanship and genuine passion. These five ‘ingredients' have made our beer so special for generations," says Klaus Möller, managing director and owner

"We live in a world where everything is becoming more and more artificial. It therefore needs people who uphold what is real: real life, real enjoyment, real beer. That's what we stand for at Hirt Private Brewery," says Niki Riegler, managing director and owner

Rooted in the region by tradition

With our 750 years of history, our brewery is one of the oldest private breweries in Austria and was first mentioned in a document in 1270 in the property and plant register of the Gurk cathedral chapter.

The still independently run family business is inextricably linked to the place that gives it its name. People from the surrounding area work here. This keeps value creation and jobs in the region.

In addition to the highest quality, regionality also plays an important role in the raw materials. As a rule, only barley produced in Austria is used. The barley for our Märzen comes from Carinthia and grows right outside the gates of the brewery.

Brewing beer is a craft that thrives on experience, feeling and natural methods. That's why we give our beer the handling and the time it needs.

Enjoyment is made by the people here at Hirt, in the brewery and in the brewing cellar. Many employees have been associated with Hirt for generations.
They give our beers an ingredient that no machine can give: real passion.

Regionality

Real beer is rooted in the region. That's why we're called Hirt: our place of work and our name are one and the same. And that's why the people involved in the brewing process at Hirt are from the immediate surroundings. This keeps value creation and jobs close to home.

Raw materials

We use only the highest quality and treat all our products with care. The barley for our Hirt Märzen, for example, comes from the neighbouring Krappfeld. And the water we use for brewing is sourced from our own springs: the purest mountain spring water, so perfectly constituted that we don't even need to treat it.
