Austria - Beer by ancient recipe
Print Edition
An Austrian brewery is offering beer lovers a trip back in time by reviving a 300-year-old recipe it found in the town archives.
The family-owned Hofstetten brewery in the Upper Austrian town of Saint Martin recreated the “Neuhauser Herrschafts Pier” from ingredients listed in an invoice for the local Neuhaus castle in 1720, when Austria was one of Europe’s big powers.
Using small crops of emmer and malting barley grown from ancient seed varieties agricultural historians had preserved, owner Peter Krammer was able to reproduce the mix of barley, wheat and hops that marked the brew made three centuries ago.
