Wir wollten ein Bier schaffen, das unsere Region widerspiegelt. Die Braugerste wächst quasi direkt vor unserer Haustüre beim Zieferbauer in Leogang. Vom Feld bis ins Glas wissen wir genau, woher jede Zutat stammt. Das Riederalm Zwickel ist für mich ehrliches Handwerk, Regionalität und echter Biergenuss in seiner ursprünglichsten Form.

More about our Riederalm Zwickel

How we make our Riederalm Zwickel

Our Zwickel starts with brewing barley from Ziefergut farm in Leogang.
To ensure that only grain from Zieferbauer farm goes into our exclusive Zwickel, it is gently cleaned and then malted at a small specialist facility.

Riederalm Zwickel is brewed strictly according to the Reinheitsgebot beer purity tradition: water, hops, malt and yeast. Nothing else.
By keeping things simple, we allow the Leogang-grown grain’s own character to develop and shine through. Every sip offers an honest, authentic taste of the region.

After brewing, Riederalm Zwickel matures for around five weeks in a small steel tank. It is then bottled in Champagne bottles and filled into small kegs for draught service.

Style & character

Riederalm Zwickel is pale, naturally cloudy and pleasantly hoppy, with fresh citrus aromas. The first sip is fresh and spicy, followed by a lasting, rounded fullness. A special yeast adds structure and gives the beer a balanced mouthfeel.

A fresh take on a historic beer style: crisp, refreshing and uncompromising.
Cheers!
