The beer truth

Is there a Puntigamer in my Villacher now?

Beers are sometimes not brewed where the brand name suggests.(Bild: pavel siamionov)

The Zwettler beer from Zwettl, the Golser beer from Gols and the Villacher beer from Villach. Sounds logical, but that won't always be the case in future. Breweries also have to subordinate themselves to economic goals, as the example of Villach beer shows. Which will be brewed in Puntigam in the future. This raises the question: how much Puntigam is in the Villach bottle? 

An elderly gentleman of small stature, whose tense button can only hold back the ample beer belly in his yellowed leather trousers with the greatest of difficulty. The image of a beer sommelier in my head did not match the appearance of the young, slim, athletic Felix Schiffner at all. The Upper Austrian, master brewer at the Fohrenburger brewery in Bludenz, knows what good beer tastes like. The reigning national beer sommelier champion and two-time runner-up in the world championships was practically born into drinking beer: His father "tasted" his first ever beer world champion title in 2009.
