There are many different types of
Austrian beer. The most
common style of beer is called
Märzen which is roughly
equivalent to the English lager or Bavarian Helles. Among the
multitude of local and regional breweries, certain brands are
available nationally.
One of the most common brands of beer to be found in Austria is
Stiegl, founded in 1492. Stiegl brews both a helles
(a light lager) and a Weissbier (Hefeweizen), as well as other
specialty beers. (Courtesy of http://www.wikipedia.org).
