Zillertal
Located just south of Bavaria, in Tyrol and set in the valley of the Alps, Zillertal are a brewery steeped in history, and no stranger to true beer heritage. Founded in 1500, they were later made family owned as the first independent brewery in the region in 1678, with the hotel and farm quickly following suit. Having benefited from the tourism after the second world war, they soon invested in modern, cutting edge equipment, though they continue to use selected, local ingredients.
Discovered on a skiing trip years ago they represent our first foray into importing European Beer, which save for the odd export to Japan have never been sold further than 100 miles from the brewery itself.
