Beer Store Vienna

A beer store Vienna can mean different things: a specialist beer shop with craft and imported bottles, a brewery’s own shop, or even a well-stocked supermarket. If you want to take Austrian beer home—or try something beyond the usual supermarket selection—here’s where to look. For drinking on the spot, see our where to drink beer in Vienna and Vienna Brewery Guide.

Beer shops and craft beer stores

Vienna has a handful of beer shops that focus on variety: Austrian craft, Belgian Trappist, German classics, and one-offs from small breweries. You’ll find them in the inner districts and a few further out. Stock rotates, so it’s worth popping in to see what’s new. A vienna craft beer shop is your best bet if you want something you won’t find in a Billa or Spar.

Buying directly from breweries

Ottakringer has a shop at their brewery where you can buy their range. Some gasthaus breweries like Fischerbräu sell take-away beer in bottles or growlers—ask when you’re there. It’s not always advertised heavily, but it’s often the freshest way to get their beer. If you’ve enjoyed a Brauhaus and want to take some home, it’s worth asking.

Supermarkets and off-licences

For everyday Austrian beer—Ottakringer, Gösser, Stiegl, Schwechater—any supermarket or Getränkemarkt does the job. Billa, Spar, Hofer, and dedicated drink stores like Trinkshop or Getränkehandel have decent selections. You won’t find rare craft here, but you’ll get the staples.

The catch with house beer

The best beer in Vienna Austria often isn’t in a shop at all. Places like Fischerbräu brew for their own pub—you drink it there. That’s the charm of a gasthaus brewery: the beer is made for the moment, not for the shelf. So if you want the full experience, go to the Brauhaus. If you want to take something home, the shops and brewery outlets above are your options.
