Stieglbrauerei zu Salzburg
Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria · Est. 1492
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Brewing in Salzburg since 1492 — the year Columbus sailed, which is the comparison every Austrian makes and it never stops being effective. Mozart drank it. It remains Austria's largest privately held brewery, which in central Europe is an increasingly lonely position.

Stiegl started brewing in Salzburg in 1492, the same year Columbus crossed the Atlantic. Nearly three centuries later, Mozart's own sister wrote in her diary about swinging by the brewery to watch the locals play skittles. It's still privately owned by the same family, five centuries and counting.
