Augustiner Mülln Märzen

Augustinerbräu Kloster Mülln
Austria·Märzen
Tap to rate

Salzburg's most iconic beer — the only beer brewed by the Augustinian monks since 1621. Entirely handcrafted, free of preservatives, open-fermented, and served directly from wooden barrels into stone steins. 16 weeks from grain to glass. Full-bodied, smooth, and unmistakably monastic in character — a beer that can only truly be enjoyed at the Bräustübl in Mülln.

◌ Aroma

The nose carries restrained but refined malt character—soft bread crust and gentle honey notes emerge first. A whisper of toasted grain and herbal noble hops rounds the profile without dominating. The open fermentation contributes a clean, fruity yeast undertone that adds complexity without cloudiness.
