Ottakringer opens the Zapfkmeisterei: The new beer center in Vienna!

The Ottakringer brewery opened the new "Zapfpanzerei" restaurant at the location of the former Bermuda Bräu in Vienna's city center on July 16, 2025. After the Bermuda Bräu's bankruptcy registration in November 2024, the “Zapfpherwei” is now the new starting point for beer lovers and hosts' fans. Managing Director Markus Raunig emphasizes that the brand is closely linked to urban life and that the tapping master shop should offer fresh beer and traditional tavern culture. It remains to be hoped that this approach proves itself and attracts a wide audience. MeinDärzirk reports that ...

What can you expect in the new tapping master? In the restaurant there are two varieties of fresh, unpasteurized tank beer, which comes directly from 500-liter copper tanks and is brewed only five kilometers away in the Ottakringer brewery. There are also at least four more barrel beers, including exquisite craft beers from the Ottakringer brewing. The menu offers a variety of Viennese classics, such as Alt-Wiener Backhendl, Spareribs and particularly sought-after Viennese original burgers, filled with schnitzel or bakery. Sweet delicacies should not be missing.

The tapping master is not only a place for good beer, but also an appealing ambience. The restaurant combines urban industrial style with a cozy tavern atmosphere.

The craft beer trend is on the rise in Austria anyway and is very popular with beer gourmets. More and more borew pubs and beer fairs are becoming more important, while large brewing companies are trying to meet the trend with creative beers. Craft Beer is a term that is supposed to call beer from independent breweries - a countermovement to the uniform beer. This development has its roots in the United States and is now also noticeable in Vienna. ORF Vienna reports that ...

The beer culture in Vienna benefits from the growing variety of beer types and a lively exchange between local breweries. For example, the Beer Store Vienna in Meidling offers numerous creative beer types, half of which comes from domestic breweries. The craft beer, which will take place for the sixth time in November, has also set itself the goal of inspiring the general public for the diversity and art of brewing beer. This development shows that the Viennese gastronomy still has to catch up, but is on the right track.

With the opening of the tapping master, the Ottakringer brewery uses a sign for the Viennese tavern culture and invites all beer lovers to get to know the new address. The opening times are from Monday to Sunday, from 12 noon to midnight. Enjoy fresh beer, delicious dishes and an atmosphere that invites you to linger!
