You will still see the original restaurant as well as the brewery. The tour of the brewery was self-guided. The equipment is in a separate room with informational signs and translations by QR code. It's all very informative. The ladies in the tasting room are so friendly and helpful in describing the beers. We were able to sample 2 different types of beer. We shared a flight of 5 beers between the 3 of us. The most popular choice among us was the Fruity Cave. I really love the cherry in this sour craft beer. Another stand out to me was the seasonal Grena Gurk. It had an herbal taste with hints of pomegranate and cucumber. It's a unique flavor that you just don't see very often. It's a pretty hot pink color as well. My husband really liked the Quöllfrisch Hell which he said was very refreshing. We were also given some Brewbee Tschipps to try along with the beer. These are made using the byproduct (or recycled grain) of the brewing process. It's a satisfying malted chip treat. I wish we had purchased more bags and flavors. They're actually quite addicting. There's an awesome looking shop full of all kinds of products made by this company. It's not just about the beer and tschipps. They also produce Säntis Malt Whisky, salad dressings, and so much more. I should have bought more as I'm finding it difficult to find any of it in the states. It was a lovely autumn day in the beautiful town of Appenzell. I know this place is known more for the cheese, but I found the beer to be just as memorable.

Holy shite! This place is incredible. We ordered dinner for 7 and pretzels. The table quickly…read morequieted when the food was dished out. And of course the beer is incredible too.

One of our coolest experiences in Europe ever!! We reserved the beer pools/ 250 euro for 4 people…read moretotal and was well worth the money!! You can serve yourself beer from 5pm-10:00pm and there were 6 options of beer to choose from! We loved every type of beer on tap. We arrived late to our beer pool but the owner was kind enough to leave a note on the door for us and showed up 5 min after we called. Bring your own towels and soap - there are showers to rinse off with after you leave the beer pool! Shout out to Andrea for being such an awesome host! We will definitely come back to starkenberger next time we are in Austria!! Amazing experience!!!

I got here yesterday and was exhausted so I just wanted dinner and a beer! My waiter helped me with my choice and said if I wasn't happy he would change it for another selection! The beer was delicious! Tonight is my last night here and I'm way too tired to eat in the restaurant so I ordered to go, I went back to pick it up and the lady got me my food, remembered which credit card I used the night before AND gave me a free beer to go! Oh yes! The food is delicious and hot when you get it!
