Sure, there are better options, but the best way to find out what's in a
given Austrian town, beer-wise, is to pick up a copy of _Conrad Seidls
Bierguide_. It covers all the Austrian states in a comprehensive
fashion.

fat chance. The Bierguide is good, but its distribution in bookshops is
almost non-existent ...

You might find some Trumer Pils or other interesting beer if
you look around, or maybe Fohrenburger beers. But if the local beer
choice is Stiegl, you could do worse.

Indeed, Trumer is a wonderful example of a proper, hoppy pils )

Cheers !

I did find a pamphlet of Herr Seidl's in a brewpub near Wien while
on holiday a couple of years ago. The brewpub that brews a stout...sorry,
I can't recall the name. Fun little place, near enough to "Beethoven's
Ruhe", IIRC.

Quite possibly the Very Best Pils In The World. Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy,
and not ONLY bitter.

FWIW, the original poster's beer guide website was indeed very helpful
during my week in Austria in early 2002...highly, highly recommended. I
can't wait until I can get back to Wien again...

Consuming one's beer fridge archive does have its advantages, at
least sometimes.
