“Beer is a truly divine medicine.” (Paracelsus)

Beer has been enjoyed hundreds of years ago. But did you know that beer has been one of the few "safe" foods for a long time?

Up to the early Modern Period, clean drinking water was the exception rather than the rule. Very often epidemics were caused by polluted water. Since beer is boiled during the brewing process, bacteria from the water are killed. In addition to that, beer contains hops and alcohol. Both of which have germ-inhibiting properties. Thus, beer was a safe drink in early times. It is also very nutritious and contains a number of vitamins and minerals. So it was not only Saint Hildegard of Bingen but also Salzburg's doctor and mystic Paracelsus, who underlined the high value of beer.
Up until today, our brew masters take good care of this fact, so your Stiegl beer is a truly divine drink.

THE CREATIVE STREAK OF OUR BREWERS

In addition to brewing the classic Stiegl range, our master brewers also have the opportunity to live out their creative veins and produce modern and unusual beer styles - often referred to as "craft beer". Besides Columbus 1492 Pale Ale, the result are the annual, limited-edition "Sonnenkönig" beers, as well as the regularly changing Stiegl Craft Beers.
