󯤖

We wanted to create a beer that reflects our region. The brewing barley grows practically right on our doorstep at the Zieferbauer farm in Leogang. From the field to the glass, we know exactly where every ingredient comes from. To me, the Riederalm Zwickel embodies authentic craftsmanship, regional character, and the genuine pleasure of drinking beer in its purest form.

How our Riederlam Zwickel is made

The foundation of our Zwickel is brewing barley from the Ziefergut farm in Leogang.
To ensure that only grain from the Ziefergut farm goes into our exclusive Zwickel, it is gently cleaned at a small specialty facility and then malted.

The ingredients for Riederalm Zwickel strictly adhere to the German Purity Law: water, hops, malt, and yeast. Nothing else!
Deliberately stripped down to the essentials, we give the Leogang grain the space to unfold its own character and truly shine. This way, you can experience the region with every sip—honest, unadulterated, and full of character.

After brewing, the Riederalm Zwickel matures for about five weeks in a small steel tank. It is then bottled in champagne bottles and filled into small beer kegs for on-tap service.

Style & character

Riederalm Zwickel is naturally cloudy, light in color, and pleasantly hoppy. Fresh citrus notes are already apparent on the nose. The initial taste is spicy and fresh, accompanied by a lingering, smooth fullness. The special yeast gives the beer additional body and ensures a harmonious mouthfeel.

A historic beer style, reinterpreted—clear, fresh, and uncompromising.
Cheers!
