Drinking beer after daily works, at the weekends or parties and in general, under any pretext, is a long-standing culture in Austria. Of course, due to its high consumption, there are many producers all over Austria. The interesting thing is that the people of different regions often insist on drinking beer produced in their region and sometimes they are proud of it and their name and logo stand out like provincial flags!
