Hubertus Bräu, Historical brewery in Laa an der Thaya, Austria
Hubertus Bräu is a brewery in Laa an der Thaya that produces beer using Austrian methods and regional ingredients. The building is a protected monument featuring traditional brewery architecture, including an on-site well and a tasting room called Bräustüberl.
Brewing rights were granted to the town in the 15th century, establishing a foundation for centuries of production. The Kühtreiber family took over operations and maintained traditional brewing methods across multiple generations.
The name Hubertus comes from the patron saint of hunters and brewers, reflecting a deep connection to local identity. The brewery stands as a place where craft and tradition are visible in every aspect of daily operations.
Plan a visit by arranging a guided tour that includes tastings paired with local baked goods in the Bräustüberl. Beer can be sampled on-site and purchased to take home, with the brewery grounds being straightforward to navigate.
A second spring dedicated to Saint Vitus flows naturally to the surface without artificial pumping and supplies the Vitus mineral water brand. This natural phenomenon has enabled mineral water production on-site for generations.
