Known for a full range of styles

In 1363, Duke Rudolf IV granted every homeowner within Freistadt's city walls the right to brew beer. In 1770 the 149 inner-city households formed the 'Braucommune' — a legal form unique in Europe today. The baroque brewhouse was built 1770–1780 and has operated continuously ever since. Still owned by the homeowners of the 149 inner-city houses, each entitled to 840 litres of beer per year. Austria's largest private brewery in Oberösterreich. Brews exclusively with 100% Austrian ingredients.
