Schremser Brewery

Discover the Schremser Haus range and taste the quality behind Austria’s historic brewer

The Austrian family-run brewery Schremser is nestled in a protected national park in north-eastern Austria, close to the Czech border. First mentioned in 1410, the original building still stands and has survived numerous fires. In 1838 the Trojan family purchased the brewery and it remains in the family, now in its sixth generation under Karl Trojan who took over in 1991.

Schremser embraces modern brewing techniques while keeping a strong connection to tradition. The brewery works closely with local farmers in the national park to produce high-quality malting grains, which are roasted to Karl’s exacting standards. The water used is “primary rock water” drawn directly from a natural source; its soft, low-lime character makes it ideal for brewing lagers and pilsners.

Today, Schremser is recognised as one of the premium boutique beer brands in the Vienna beer scene.

Boutique Beer with Real Heritage
Schremser is considered a boutique brewery in Austria, known for its small-batch approach, long maturation times and commitment to regional ingredients. While larger breweries dominate the mainstream market, Schremser focuses on characterful, carefully crafted lagers brewed with water drawn from ancient primary rock and barley grown in the surrounding national park. Its size allows it to prioritise quality over volume, staying true to traditional methods that bigger producers have long abandoned. This gives Schremser a distinct place in Austria’s beer landscape. For UK venues, stocking Schremser means offering a genuine craft import from a respected but understated brewery that locals consider a hidden gem rather than a mass-market name.
Brewing tradition through the generations
Schremser Brewery traces its roots to 1410 and has been family-run by the Trojan family since 1838.
180 years as a family-run business. In June 2018, the Trojan family celebrated their 180th anniversary. The Schremser brewery has been in the hands of the Trojan family since 1838 and has remained family-run ever since. Over these 180 years the brewery has weathered highs and lows and held its own against large international brewing groups through a consistent focus on quality.
Why Stock Schremser?
Schremser offers something rare in the UK market: Austrian lager brewed, matured and kegged at source before being imported directly into the UK. This gives bars and pubs a fresher, cleaner and more authentic lager experience than UK-brewed copies. Schremser Haus is an Inn Express exclusive, giving stockists a point of difference that customers will notice. Slow, cold fermentation and long maturation create a smooth, balanced profile that stands out on the bar, while the brewery’s six centuries of craft add real credibility. For venues wanting a premium lager with a clear story and a genuine import badge, Schremser, alongside Inn Express, always delivers.
