Beer has been brewed in the baroque brewery Freistädter for around 250 years. In 2012 the Braugasthof was opened within the historic walls in the heart of Freistadt.
On the occasion of a brewery, I can't resist - from a purely literary point of view - and must briefly mention the humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who I admire and who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem". quote with one of his – very rare – rhymes:
“The four-legged friend only drinks water.
The human being finds beer finer.”
(H.Erhardt)
