Austrian Breweries (A-N)

Introduction
In this page, I detail everything you'll ever need to know about Austrian breweries and Austrian beer.

The Austrian brewing Industry - what, where, how much, when., by whom: I describe it all. You lucky gits. And I don't even charge you for it.

Austria is Germany's shy younger brother (in brewing terms) no more. If it ever was. By my calculation, Austria is the most densely-breweried country in the world.

Independent brewery. A very interesting brewery, if only for its strange legal form. In 1263, every house owner in the town was given the right to brew and sell beer. By the 18th century, the number of citizens still retaining this privilege had dwindled to 149, but only two brewhouses were operational. They decided to pool their interests and build a communal brewery, which was completed in 1780. The brewerey retains this structure today, making it pretty unusual.

I just love this quote from their website:
"Als das deutsche Reinheitsgebot verfasst worden ist, hat es weder Pestizide noch Kunstdünger gegeben. Alle Rohstoffe sind ohne die Segnungen der chemischen Industrie gewachsen. Heute wir allein beim Hopfenanbau das hochgiftige Pestizid Triphenylzinn eingesetzt und zur Haltbarmachung noch ca. 10 g Schwefel pro kg Hopfen verwendet. Außerdem wird kein Naturhopfen verwendet, sondern Hopfenextrakte, die mit chemischen Lösungsmitteln wie Methylenchlorid und Hexan den Hopfen bearbeiten. Ebenso sind heute bei den modernen Brauern Polyvinylpolypyrrolidon und Kieselsäurepräparate zur Haltbarmachung und Filtration üblich.

Ein weiterer Hinweis, der zum Denken anregen soll:
Damit nicht zuviel und nicht zuwenig Bier in die Flasche oder Dose kommt, setzen Großbrauereien seit Jahren Gamma- oder Röntgenstrahlen ein. Als strahlendes Element wird dabei Americium 241, ein Abfallprodukt von Kernbrennstäben, verwendet."
"When the German purity requirement was written, there were neither pesticides nor artificial fertilisers. All the raw materials grew without the blessing of the chemical industry. Today the highly poisonous pesticide Triphenylzinn is used in hop growing and preserve them approx. 10 g sulphur per kg of hops is added . In addition, no natural hop is used, but hop extract, which are prepared using chemical solvents such as dichloromethane and hexane. Similarly, today´s modern brewers commonly use Polyvinylpolypyrrolidon and silicic acid preparations to extend shelflife and aid filtration.

Another point which should get you thinking:
So that neither too little nor too much beer gets into a bottle or a can, large breweries have been using gamma or X-rays for years. The radiating element they use is americium 241, a waste product from the fuel rods of nuclear power stations." (My translation)
