I'm not sure if anyone exports it much beyond continental Europe. The best bet might be to come over and bring back a case in your checked luggage. Or ask someone traveling from Budapest to wherever you are to do the same. Evan Hi Dale,

Dreher beer is produced in Hungary. I’m not sure if anyone exports it much beyond continental Europe. The best bet might be to come over and bring back a case in your checked luggage. Or ask someone traveling from Budapest to wherever you are to do the same.

Evan

Norway was a big exporter of ice to Europe before WW2. hi Evan, yes you are right! though many breweries installed a refrigeration system it did not mean that the use of natural ice suddenly ceased.

Where does that come from? I've been told that wheat beers made up 80% of Czech production before the growth of lagers. Let me know if that book says anything about sour or smoked wheat styles here... Wait, Ron — Is that blood on your hands? Where does that come from?

Do you know when Dreher switched over to Von Linde's mechanical refrigeration? I thought it didn't take place before 1877 or so, meaning they would have still been buying ice at the time this article was written. Lots of it, I imagine... Hi, Pingrid — that’s interesting.

In fact, due to this heavy support from Dreher breweries, he developed ice machines to control the brewing. This lead to the coming of large scale brewing of underbrewed beers as Pilsners.

But long ago, different Dreher beers were brewed all around the Austro-Hungarian empire. Anton Dreher the Elder invented Vienna Lager at the Schwechat brewery in 1841 and later bought the Hungarian brewery at Kőbánya, among others; Anton Dreher the Younger took over the family's many breweries in 1870. After WWII they lost control of everything: the Schwechat brewery later became part of BBAG, now part of Heineken, while the Hungarian breweries, including Kőbánya, were nationalized by the communists, with Kőbánya later ending up as part of SAB-Miller. That's the beer called Dreher today. The brewery mentioned in this article is the Schwechat brewery near Vienna. At the time it would have been run by Anton Dreher the Younger.

Is Dreher still brewed in Austria? I know it's big in Hungary but have never been to Austria. Interesting stuff. Is Dreher still brewed in Austria?
