BAECKERT’s Brauerei

About BAECKERT’s Brauerei

BAECKERT's is a small brewery in Rennbahnzeile in Pfaffstätten that brews naturally cloudy, unfiltered beers, from pils and lager to creative beers with apricot, elderflower or pumpkin. It has been brewing commercially since 2018, and every bottle is filled and labelled by hand.

Behind the brewery is Ing. Harald Baeckert, who passed the exam for the diploma beer sommelier at the Kiesbye-Akademie in Obertrum in 2018. His son Marcel has also been a diploma beer sommelier since 2021. Before that, from 2008 the family brewed at home for around ten years, first in a cooking pot, later with small automatic brewing machines.

The beers

• All year round: KellerPils, naturally cloudy and hoppy, originally brewed for the Großheuriger in Pfaffstätten; the malty LAGER and the top-fermented, reddish-brown ALT.
• BOCKERL: a strong beer with 7 to 8 per cent, usually in stock.
• HONEY: top-fermented, with honey from a regional beekeeper.
• Marillie: a light, dry fruit beer with ripe local apricots.
• HollerBlüh: brewed only with freshly cut elderflowers, without juice or sugar, and therefore only in small quantities and only a few weeks after the elder blossom.
• Also seasonal: KürbisAle with organic pumpkins from the area, BLONDeZirbe with Swiss stone pine cones and ErdBärBLOND with strawberries the family picks themselves.

Several beers did well at Falstaff: the BOCKERL came second in 2022 with 94 points, the Marillie fourth among the creative beers in 2024 with 93 points, and HollerBlüh and Weichsler 90 points each in 2025.

Buying and tasting

• Direct: the beer is usually stored in kegs (KEG) and filled into 0.33-litre bottles as needed, so order in good time. Other containers are available on request. If you want to drop by, arrange an appointment beforehand.
• In shops: for example at the Gut is' Dorfladen in Pfaffstätten and in the Dorfladenbox in Bad Vöslau; recently the KellerPils was also available at the Heuriger Zum Goaßbuam in Pfaffstätten.
• Courses: the brewery offers tasting sessions and beer brewing courses.
• The brewery's drinking tip: not too cold, above 8 degrees, from a wide glass.
