300 Year-Old Beer Recipe Resurrected by: Terelle Jerricks, Managing Editor
C
raft beer enthusiasts are buzzed with the news that an Austrian brewery has a revived a 300 year old recipe found in a town’s archives. Reuters recently reported that a brewery in the town of Saint Martin, Austria recreated the “Neuhauser Herrschafts Pier” from ingredients listed in an invoice for the local Neuhaus castle in 1720--when Austria was one of Europe’s leading powers. The family-owned Hofstetten brewery used small crops of emmer and malting barley grown from ancient seed varieties that agricultural historians had preserved. The head of Hofstetten brewery, Peter Krammer, was able to reproduce the mix of barley, wheat and hops that marked the brew made three centuries ago. Krammer was quoted as saying he believed old grains have more taste. Ultimately it took him five tries before he was satisfied. The revived beer recipe breaks with tradition in its reliance on old-style French yeast from a rural brewery. The original Austrian brewers did not use yeast, but rather remnants of the previous batch of beer to help the fermentation process. The brewery, one of the oldest in Austria, made only a single 4,000-litre batch of the brew. It reportedly tastes like wheat beer. The beer was made in early August at the town’s volunteer firefighter festival.
