From Mash to Mug: A Hands‑On, 7‑Hour Brewing Course in Obertrum am See.
At the Bierkulturhaus in Obertrum am See, Braukurs „Klassik“ is an immersive seven‑hour workshop that asks you to roll up your sleeves and work through every step of brewing a traditional Austrian beer. The day combines active brewing with tastings, a guided visit to Trumer Privatbrauerei, a warm brewer’s buffet and a Traditionsbrauer certificate — plus a 0.75‑litre bottle of the beer you helped make, shipped to you afterwards.

Hands‑on brewing from mash to kettle
Every Braukurs Klassik guarantees active participation in all brewing steps: attendees work together to brew either a Natur‑Märzen or Natur‑Weizen under professional supervision.
Guided tastings of German and Austrian beer classics
The course includes tastings of beer classics from Germany and Austria alongside draft pours and unlimited soft drinks, coffee and tea to compare styles and production outcomes.
A warm brewer’s buffet, a certificate and your own bottle
Participants enjoy a hot brewer’s buffet (with a vegetarian alternative available), receive a Traditionsbrauer certificate and one 0.75‑litre gourmet bottle of the beer they brewed — shipping included.
What the day feels like
How the day unfolds
Over seven concentrated hours at the Bierkulturhaus, small groups move through brewing stages together under the guidance of a trained brewer and diploma‑level beer sommelier: milling and mashing, lautering and boiling, followed by tastings, a brewery tour and a shared meal. The course balances hands‑on work with explanation and sampling, ending in certification and the promise that your beer will arrive later as a 0.75‑litre gourmet bottle you can taste again — including at Frodo’s Bar.
