Operated by Axel Kiesbye GmbH · Obertrum am See, Salzburg
In the heart of Austria’s Salzburg region lies Obertrum am See, a quiet town framed by shimmering waters and the rolling foothills of the Alps. Here, Axel Kiesbye GmbH offers an immersive 4-hour brewing workshop that shapes a rapidly growing niche of experiential outdoor-adjacent activities. The Braukurs „Kompakt“ invites both novices and beer enthusiasts to roll up their sleeves and witness firsthand the craftsmanship behind Austrian Märzen beer—a style known for its malty depth and balanced hop presence.
Set within the Bierkulturhaus, the course is led by a seasoned brewer who guides up to 15 participants through every step of the brewing process. From mashing and lautering to boiling and fermenting, the workshop breaks down the traditionally complex art into approachable, hands-on segments. Participants enjoy unlimited pours of draft beer alongside soft drinks and coffee, paired with a classic Austrian lunch of Weisswürste and pretzels, grounding the experience in local culinary tradition.
What sets this workshop apart is its authentic connection to regional brewing heritage combined with modern educational rigor. Each student earns a "BrauassistentIn" certificate, a tangible nod to their brewing skills and dedication. Several weeks after the course, participants have the unique opportunity to taste their homebrewed Märzen at Frodo’s Bar in Obertrum am See, reinforcing a sense of accomplishment and community.
This experience offers more than just brewing—it’s a cultural immersion linking visitors directly with Austria’s rich beer legacy and the stunning natural surroundings that inspire it. Whether as an engaging after-work escape or a focused dive into craft brewing, Axel Kiesbye GmbH’s Braukurs "Kompakt" is a rare blend of education, tradition, and conviviality nestled in a region where outdoor adventure and cultural craft seamlessly coexist.
