The traditional Sternbier has been back at Sternbräu since 2014. A yolk-yellow coloured naturally cloudy beer, brewed exclusively for the Sternbräu in organic quality by Salzburg’s private brewery Stiegl since 2025.
From 1411, Sternbräu was one of more than a dozen breweries in the historic centre of Salzburg. In 1907, the brewery was relocated to the Riedenburg district behind the Neutor. In 1911, the Sternbrauerei had the second-highest beer production in Salzburg after Stiegl. In 1956, the last bottle of the then popular Sternbier was produced in the ‘Sternbrauerei’ in Riedenburg and the brewery was closed; today it houses luxury flats. After 58 years, a new Sternbier was created at the Kaltenhausen brewery in 2014 following the major remodelling of the Sternbräu. Now tradition is bringing Sternbräu and Stiegl together again. Since April 2025, our Sternbier is brewed in organic quality by the private brewery Stiegl.
