Raw materials

Raw materials

I am incredibly proud that the grain I sow and harvest goes into Hirt beer.

Hirter Rohstoffe

In Hirt, the tradition of brewing has been alive for 750 years, so selecting the best raw materials has always been the basis for perfectly brewed beer.We pay attention to the highest quality in all our raw materials and treat them with care.Pure mountain spring water from 24 of our own springs, summer barley from the region, the finest aromatic hops and Hirt yeast form the five quality pillars of Hirt Private Brewery as natural raw materials for real beer together with regionality, a sense of tradition, craftsmanship and passion.

In times of mass production, we are clearly bucking this trend and focusing on regional quality. The raw materials used in production are pure and natural, because real enjoyment requires high-quality ingredients.

"It's important to us that the barley comes directly from the region. By using regional raw materials, we also make an important contribution to the local economy," says Nikolaus Riegler, owner of Hirt Private Brewery.

Our Carinthian malting barley is produced under particularly strict guidelines, which guarantees consumers the best Carinthian quality. "The grain size, husk texture, extract content and an optimal protein content meet our strict guidelines," confirms Roland Winter, 2nd master brewer at Hirt.

While herbs still determined the taste in the early days of brewing, they have long since been replaced by hops. This important raw material is sourced both from organic cultivation in the Mühlviertel region and from the largest cultivation area in the world, the idyllic Hallertau region in Bavaria. Only the best aromatic hops are used, guaranteeing the fine and typical taste of Hirt beer while drinking and the pleasantly tart finish.

An essential prerequisite when choosing the location for a brewery has always been the water available there. Its mineral ingredients are decisive for the taste. The same beer, brewed with absolutely the same recipe at another location in Austria or anywhere else in the world, would taste different from Hirt beer. The master brewers at Hirt can draw on 24 of their own springs. Thanks to the perfect degree of hardness and without the need for any kind of artificial treatment, these springs ensure the high quality of the beer in a natural way.

Last but not least, our Real Beer owes its special taste and character to the use of Hirt's own pure yeast. The craftsmanship and sensory skills of the master brewers also play an important role. With their experience, they ensure consistent quality in the brewhouse by balancing out the bitter notes and protein content, which always vary depending on the harvest.

Real Beer needs real raw materials.

That's why Hirt Kellermeister is not an artificially cloudy industrial beer, but a genuine, naturally cloudy brewing specialty made from the best Austrian organic barley.

Brewed with the purest mountain spring water from the Hirt Hanselbau springs and a passion for the real thing.

The completely natural organic raw materials give the Hirt Kellermeister a distinctive note of its own: sweet, fruity and drinkable – a naturally cloudy Hirt organic speciality.
