CENTRAL EUROPE'S NEW BREWERIES

 
A guide to new hausbrauereien (brewpub's) and micro's in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Slovenia, and Switzerland.


     Hallesches Brauahaus   

Halle's latest Hausbrauerei, Hallesches Brauhaus.  It brews an excellent unfiltered Kölsch called Hallsch.


In the last fifteen years there has been a revolution in brewing in Central Europe. Reacting against the increasingly bland beers on offer from their country's major brewers, a whole industry of new breweries have emerged. Some are micro's, small brewers whose beers are sold in other people's bar. However the vast majority are brewpubs (in German Hausbrauerei ), where the beers are brewed and sold in the bar itself. In many of these the brewery itself is a major feature of the bar. Most new breweries have concentrated on brewing quality beers. A lot serve their beers unfiltered, and many have revived long forgotten local styles and variations.

In this website I have attempted to list all the currently operating new brewpubs, and micro's in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Slovenia, and Switzerland. I aim to keep the information as accurate and up to date as possible, so please feel free to e-mail me (euroscooper AT hotmail.co.uk) with news, or corrections.

NOTE:  Following repeated spam and virus attacks I have had to change my e-mail address.  It is now euroscooper AT hotmail.co.uk. (replace the "AT" with "@" when e-mailing).  If you have e-mailed me in the last 2-3 months and not got a reply, I'm sorry.  I would be grateful if you could send the information again at my new e-mail address.
