Vienna evokes associations of Wiener Schnitzel, Sachertorte and Kaiserschmarrn, but the capital of Austria has had a new culinary attraction for some time now. Five guys are conquering the beer world with their creative, innovative beers. With Austrian charm and a lot of passion, the brewers are fighting against boring, standard beer.
Volcanoes are a force of nature that inspires respect among many people. Powerful eruptions, bubbling lava and unpredictability make volcanoes fascinating elements of our earth. Building on the magical creativity of volcanoes, the young brewery Brew Age has chosen the volcano as its logo. Instead of creating new islands and land, the brewers create unique beers that stand out from the mass of standard beers with excellence and creativity. Run-of-the-mill beer is a thing of the past; today we drink sophisticated, varied, flavorful beers from craft breweries! But it's not just the creative power that reminds us of the power of a volcano; the explosion of flavor that awaits us when we enjoy Brew Age beers is also reminiscent of a volcanic eruption. The brewers work with a lot of dedication and passion every day to produce beers that delight with an extraordinary range of flavors and aromatic depth. Brew Age's beers like the blockbuster Alphatier generate moments of enjoyment and are so drinkable that you become a fan after just one bottle.
Like many other young craft brewers, Tom and Johannes' careers began in their own four walls. As hobby brewers, the two tried their hand at countless brews and discovered that their beer was of good quality and tasted excellent. When Tom's brother Michael joined the company, there were initial discussions about whether to turn their hobby into a career. Some of today's successful craft beer breweries started as home brewers in their own garages. But Tom, Johannes and Michael didn't want to rush into things and decided to become "real" brewers first. Tom and Johannes enrolled at the TU in Weihenstephan and learned the craft of brewing from scratch. Equipped with a diploma and another team member, the adventure could now begin. As settled gypsy brewers, they rented space at the Gusswerk brewery and from then on brewed their own beer under the Brew Age label. But anyone who knows the five guys Michael, Tom, Johannes, Raphael and Christian knows that this is far from the end. The five dream of having their own brewery in Vienna and are busy producing delicious, innovative beers until this plan is realized.
Next time we are in Vienna, we will have beer instead of Sachertorte, that’s for sure!
