Beer Tasting at the Schladminger Brewery
approx. 1.5 hours · up to 30 people per tasting, groups of 15 or more also on Saturdays · from 14 €100 m
For over 110 years, the purest Tauern water has flowed into the brewing kettles in Schladming — and right where Schladminger beer is made, you can taste it too. At the beer tasting in the Schladminger brewery, you'll spend around an hour and a half discovering how mountain spring water, malt and hops become the region's classic brew. A presentation guides you through the history and craft of this traditional brewery, while you sample the beers right at the source. Best of all: the brewery sits in the heart of Schladming, so you can easily reach it on foot — perfect for a rainy day or a leisurely afternoon when the car can simply stay parked.
What to expect
The tasting lasts around 1.5 hours and combines enjoyment with brewing history: you'll get a presentation about the Schladminger brewery, its more than 110-year tradition and its brewing with pure mountain spring water from the Tauern — and, of course, samples of the Schladminger beers. A maximum of 30 people take part in each tasting, so the atmosphere stays pleasantly personal. Important: participation is only possible from the age of 16, and the tour is not wheelchair accessible.
Prices & dates
The beer tasting costs 14 € per person (as of July 2026) and can be booked from 15 May to 30 October. Groups of 15 or more (up to 45 people) can additionally book tastings on Saturdays between 9:30 am and 4:00 pm; other days of the week are possible on request. Bookings are taken by phone on +43 664 8382239 or via schladmingerbier.at — experience shows the dates sell out quickly, so reserve early.
Getting there from Schladming
The brewery is located at Hammerfeldweg 163, just 10–15 minutes' walk from Schladming town centre. That makes the tasting an ideal car-free activity: you stroll over at your leisure, enjoy the samples with a clear conscience and are back in town within a few minutes. If you do come by car, the brewery is signposted on the edge of Schladming.
Insider tips
Deliberately save the tasting for a bad-weather day — it's completely weatherproof and one of the cosiest indoor activities in Schladming. Book as early as you can, because the slots from mid-May are in high demand. And combine your visit with a stroll through Schladming's old town: after the tasting, everything you've just learned tastes twice as good when you order your Schladminger in one of the inns armed with your new knowledge.
