Braucommune Freistadt, Historic brewery in Freistadt, Austria
Braucommune Freistadt is a brewery housed in a baroque building where beer and non-alcoholic beverages are produced. The structure is a protected historic monument that continues traditional brewing methods passed down through centuries.
The brewery was founded in the 14th century when city leaders granted brewing rights to townspeople. This privilege became the foundation for its continued operation over many generations.
The brewery belongs to the townspeople collectively, with local property owners sharing the profits from its success. This communal structure remains a defining feature that sets it apart from commercial breweries elsewhere in the region.
Visitors can join guided tours through the production areas to learn about the brewing process firsthand. Afterward, you can taste freshly brewed beer made on site.
The brewery preserves some of the oldest brewing regulations in the region, recorded in writing from the 15th century. These ancient rules reveal how strict quality standards shaped this craft throughout the ages.
