Austria make some of Europe’s finest beer and the Kaiser is as the name translated means a King of Beer. This beer is one of Austria’s more popular and comes from the capital Salzburg, the home of the Sound of Music. And lets face it while your high on the hill with your mountain goat and a few tasty grilled bratwurst gulping down a few steins of Kaiser isn’t a bad idea. The beer is a 5.2% strength golden yellow beverage with a malty aftertaste resembling that of an European Pilsner. Unlike the German’s the Austrians do not have purity laws so there are some unmalted cereals like corn and rice used in the process which gives it a distinctly Austrian taste. The beer is exported out of Austria and can be found in limited numbers around the world usually in the aluminum can form.
