Description
The Mühltaler brewery, the history of which goes back well into the 19th century, was an integral part of the Salzburg Lungau until 1916. Countless inns from Zederhaus to Ramingstein and from Tamsweg to Muhr ran the traditional Lungau brand. At that time, brewing barley was also grown in the entire Lungau region - at over 1,000 m above sea level. In the middle of the First World War, in 1916, the Mühltaler brewery had to cease operations due to the effects of the war. Even after the end of the war, the economic situation made it impossible to start operations again. The entire brewing system was dismantled and sold to the Gösser brewery. At that time it was agreed that this would have to be returned to the Mühltaler brewery if it were to start operations again. (Time for a phone call, we would say * smile *) For many years the Mühltaler brewery stood still and the Lungau slowly lost its beer identity, as there should soon be no more breweries in the Lungau. Christian Mauser, great-grandson of the last brewery owner and master brewer of the Mühltaler brewery, did not let this part of the family history rest and slowly created the idea of re-establishing the brewery. He thought about the topic for a full five years. During his business studies for SME Management & Entrepreneurship at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, he met David Tscholl and Dieter Vierbach. Both were so impressed by the idea that they decided to tackle the matter without further ado. After that everything went very quickly and in May 2016, exactly after 100 years, the Mühltaler brewery in Salzburg's Lungau was brought back to life with the market launch of the Mühltaler Edelmärzen. The vision is now: To give the Lungau back its beer.
