Poidl Bräu

About Poidl Bräu

Poidl Bräu is a small private brewery in Pottenstein an der Triesting that brews unfiltered beers on its own equipment. A few times a year it opens a beer Heuriger on Hochstraße with around 180 seats.

From hobby to its own brewing equipment

It started in 1993 with a love of cooking and an attempt to brew beer at home. Poidl Bräu takes its name from its founder, Ing. Leopold Schlögl. The hobby became a profession: the first Dreher brewing system was built, and Dreher Brauanlagen GmbH on Wehrgasse still builds brewing systems today.

What goes into the brew kettle

The mainstay is the Helle Poidl, a top-fermented pale ale with 5 % alcohol and mild aroma hops from the Hallertau. It is available all year round, including outside the Heuriger days, in bottles from 0.33 to 2 litres, in a 5-litre party keg and on draught. Seasonally there are also special and creative beers:

• Dunkles Poidl: amber-coloured amber ale with a light roasted character, 4.6 %
• Holla Traum: with elderflowers from Pottenstein, delicately bitter, 4.8 %
• Poidl's IPA: with the US hops Cascade and Chinook, 5.7 %
• Other varieties: Poidl's Weisse, Black Chocolate Cherry, HimBeeR, Honig Bock and da'Zirmbock

On the beer list on the website, almost all varieties are currently marked as sold out, except the Holla Traum (as of 22.10.2026).

The beer Heuriger on Hochstraße

The Heuriger only opens a few times a year, sometimes for direct sales, sometimes as a classic Heuriger. Then there are familiar and new varieties to taste, and in the kitchen beer and spent grain go into the dishes. Spent grain is the malt left over after brewing.

• Space: around 180 seats, step-free access
• Animals: pets are welcome
• To take away: the dishes are also available packed to go
• Payment: cash only

Celebrations and beer for home

The rooms can be used for celebrations with larger groups. You can order beer at any time; ordering and collection are via Wehrgasse 6. For private parties you can also hire dispensing equipment.
