The blacksmith's craft stands like no other for powerful and characterful qualities like the beer of the beer smithy today. In addition to the award-winning beers, the brewery tours, beery souvenirs as well as the brewing tavern including regional delicacies are popular. **The Werkstück – the beer to the nature park Attersee-Traunsee** A delightful selection of light Pilsner malt and selected caramel malts results in a rich amber color. The malt character is harmoniously balanced by the fine Celeja aroma hops. The most important raw material - water - comes directly from the source in the Attersee Traunsee Nature Park. © Open copyright © Credit: TVB Attersee-Attergau/Klaus Costadedoi, Bierschmiede Steinbach, Mario Scheckeneder Close copyright ![](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/fileadmin/_processed_/1/4/csm_2S-Bierschmiede-2_73376473a8.jpg "Credit: TVB Attersee-Attergau/Klaus Costadedoi, Bierschmiede Steinbach, Mario Scheckeneder") Brauerei Kaltenböck ------------------- Regional beer variety from the agricultural family brewery [ ![Kaltenböck brewery in Attersee am Attersee: The picture shows two cheerful men in traditional dress clinking glasses of beer.

The first brewing experiments followed shortly afterwards at his parents' farm with a manageable quantity of 10 liters. Today he runs the brewery together with his brother Herwig. **Barley and hops from own cultivation** In the meantime, the beers of the Kaltenböck brewery have won several awards and since 2012, the brewery has even been growing its own barley and hops on its own fields. For the regional Bier4er, the decision was made to use the Pfahlbaubier. A very special beer which is also the harbinger for the 2027 national exhibition. It is a dark herbal beer with raw materials that were already known and cultivated in the Neolithic Age. © Open copyright © Credit: Brauerei Kaltenböck Close copyright ![](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/fileadmin/_processed_/e/7/csm_2S-Brauerei-Kaltenboeck_6d6a3ca2bf.jpg "Credit: Brauerei Kaltenböck")
