1516 Brewing Company

1516 Brewing Company

Located in the heart of Vienna, 1516 Brewing Company is a perfect place for craft beer lovers. Due to the rich variety of beers they offer, 1516 became a consumer favorite brewery in the beer-loving Austrian capital. “1516” refers to the year when the Reinheitsgebot, Germany’s Beer Purity Law, was passed. This name is a symbol of the brewery’s primary vocation, and more importantly, its aspiration for quality and purity. 1516 Brewing Company is a place where you can experience a unique atmosphere by enjoying delicious food, handcrafted beers brewed on their own premises, watching sports and hanging out.

1516 Brewing Company captures the essence of Vienna’s beer culture while embracing a modern passion for craft brewing.

In many ways, it is a mixture of a cozy Austrian Gasthaus and a pulsing American-style brewpub. Located in Vienna’s first district, the setting is welcoming and laid-back, allowing you to easily relax and enjoy yourself without any hint of exclusivity. Finally, the beer selection is a true shrine to the art of the brewmaster and you can find everything between classic lagers to experimental ales.

While we enjoyed their signature “Victory Hop Devil IPA” – a hoppy brew with a balanced amount of bitterness – we also advise to try the seasonal selection for something special and new.

1516’s strength lies in its variety of in-house craft beers and its approachable, sociable vibe that brings together locals and visitors over good brews. Their commitment to brewing quality extends to the food, with dishes that are thoughtfully prepared to pair well with the beers on tap.
