Axel Kiesbye GmbH
Discover the art of craft brewing with this hands-on course led by expert Axel Kiesbye. Perfect for passionate hobbyists, it combines brewing techniques with tastings and community.
Axel Kiesbye GmbH runs brewing courses and beer-culture experiences at the Bierkulturhaus in Obertrum am See, Salzburg. The company offers structured, hands-on workshops designed for hobby brewers, beginners and groups seeking an immersive introduction to Austrian brewing traditions. Each course is led by experienced brewer Axel Kiesbye and focuses on practical brewing techniques, beer tasting and guided production insights.
Courses include a full 8-hour Braukurs “Pro”, a 7-hour Braukurs “Klassik” and a 4-hour Braukurs “Kompakt”, each combining practical brewing time with tastings and on-site refreshments. The Braukurs “Klassik” includes a guided tour of Trumer Privatbrauerei, giving participants a close view of professional brewing operations. After completing a course, participants receive a certificate—examples include the “Kreativbrauer” and “Traditionsbrauer”—and have the opportunity to taste their creations later at Frodo’s Bar.
Axel Kiesbye GmbH emphasizes clear learning objectives, safety in the brewing process, and authentic Austrian beer styles such as Märzen. The workshops provide step-by-step instruction, ingredient overview, and practical brewing experience suited to small groups and corporate team events. Axel Kiesbye GmbH is registered as a GmbH and operates from a fixed location in Salzburg, making bookings and logistics straightforward for visitors and local guests alike.
