Gösser

Anyone who has ever been skiing, hiking or cycling on Austria's mountains and gone to the hut for a snack after the sporting activity knows the Göss brewery. There is hardly anything more refreshing than the good Gösser Radler , which wraps you around your finger with wonderful citrus notes, a slim body and a tangy character. The Gösser Naturradler now has cult status in Germany and is considered one of the best of its kind.

Nuns in the brewhouse

The brewery from which the wonderful Radler and other beer specialties come comes from a monastery brewery. The abbey was founded around the year 1000 and brewing was part of the daily tasks of the residents. In keeping with today's feminism, it was not monks but nuns who stood behind the kettles and produced tasty beer for the region. Over the centuries, various brewers were mentioned in documents from time to time until the Göss nunnery was dissolved in 1782. Brewing activities were resumed almost 75 years later by Max Kober. The resourceful brewer acquired part of the monastery, founded a company and revived the heyday of Gösser beer. And the horrors of two world wars also passed the brewery by: some things were destroyed and had to be rebuilt, but the brewery's success was able to continue and slowly spread to surrounding countries. To this day, Göss is a fixture in Austria and Europe.

Austria and its patron

As true Austrians, the Göss team naturally has a passion and enthusiasm for their own country. This love is expressed in the careful choice of raw materials: all ingredients come from Austria. The water is obtained from the spring protection area near the brewery, the grain grows in the region's sun-drenched fields and the hops come from a small hop-growing area in Styria. Göss has accompanied Austria for the last thousand years, watched the country grow and prosper, wars were survived together, festivals were celebrated and a close bond was forged between the country and the brewery. Today, Göss supports Austria not only in the selection of ingredients, but also in the form of sporting sponsorship and patronage of celebrations and events. The rich history of the brewery with all its anecdotes and stories can be found in the Gösseum, a museum dedicated to the Göss brewery. Here you can learn something about the brewery as well as about the beer and its production process.
