Stiegl-Brauwelt offers an immersive experience into beer brewing history, featuring a 5,000 m² interactive museum, guided tours, and beer tastings.
Planning your visit
Stiegl has brewed in Salzburg since 1492 and is Austria's largest private brewery, and the Brauwelt is its 5,000-square-metre visitor centre — the largest brewery museum in the country.
The route covers brewing history, the Reinheitsgebot-adjacent Austrian traditions, the raw materials, and the process, with the world's largest beer tankard on display and interactive stations throughout.
The tasting at the end includes several Stiegl beers, and the beer garden and cellar restaurant serve Austrian food.
Salzburg's tourism is overwhelmingly Mozart and Sound of Music, and the brewery is the local alternative — genuinely part of the city's economy rather than staged for visitors.
Allow ninety minutes with tasting. Age restrictions apply to the tasting elements. The main booking is an entry ticket with beer tasting. Current availability is shown below.
