Craftsmanship

Craftsmanship

"What a machine can't replace is the overall sensory system. You see something, you hear something, you feel something."

Raimund Linzer, master brewer at Hirt

Hirter Handwerk

We have been brewing with real passion at Hirt since 1270. A lot has changed in the art of brewing beer over the past 750 years as well as at Hirt Private Brewery. New recipes and new methods have been developed to obtain new flavours and create a special range. What is at the core of us and our Hirt beer, however, has remained unchanged over the centuries and can be summed up today, as it was then, in our five pillars of quality for real beer: a sense of tradition, regionality, the best natural raw materials, a genuine passion for brewing beer and, of course, professional craftsmanship.

Our brewers have always played a key role in this regard. Because their special sense of smell, visual acuity and taste are what makes the craft of brewing beer a masterful art that cannot be replaced by any machine. From the daily laboratory sampling of the water, to the brewhouse work, to the tasting of the finished brewed beers, there are many different work steps that are characterised by craftsmanship as well as extensive knowledge and experience, because even the smallest mistakes would have serious consequences for the quality and taste of the beer. However, none of this runs contrary to technical innovations and modernisations. These must not be equated with mass production and artificial processes, but can also contribute significantly to high quality and efficient processes in a natural way.

At Hirt, we avoid the use of heat pasteurisation because anything that could alter the natural taste of the beer is never allowed to get as far as the bottle. Each individual variety has its own recipe and matures for different lengths of time in the 2-tank fermentation process. The shelf life of our beers is guaranteed in a natural way by double filtration.

Compared to the processes in many other breweries, this type of beer brewing at Hirt Private Brewery requires much more effort, as well as an especially high standard of hygiene. However, we are convinced that this is the only way to preserve all the valuable components that guarantee the best quality and the full-bodied, real beer taste.

Taking plenty of time and effort to produce our beer specialities, but getting a completely natural and honest end product with a special taste experience in return, has always been in line with our company philosophy – and there's no changing that. That's why we at Hirt are currently one of 4 breweries in Austria to be proud of being a Slow Brewer and, in the spirit of this certificate, we undergo a strict annual inspection which ensures the best quality and sustainability as well as gentle beer production that takes time.

Real beer needs real craftsmanship.

Hirt's craft brewing is characterised by our centuries-old brewing tradition combined with the most modern methods and professional skills of our master brewers. Our Hirt 1270 – which we proudly named after the year of our first documented mention – does complete justice to this mixture of old recipes and modern taste as a traditional, natural, full-bodied beer.


With its unmistakable amber colour due to gently roasted brewing malt, our 1270 invites visual enjoyment and promises a very special taste experience thanks to its fine notes of honey and caramel.

Really malty. Discover Hirt 1270.
