Forst Brewery

The Forst Brewery, fully known as "Brauerei Forst AG", is one of the oldest and most prestigious breweries in Italy. It is located in the small village of Forst, which belongs to Algund, and is very close to the spa town of Merano in South Tyrol. Its history dates back to 1857, when it was founded and has since been owned by the Fuchs family. Over the decades, the brewery has made a name for itself in the production of premium beers and strictly follows traditional brewing methods, which are supplemented by modern technologies.

The Forst Brewery is a popular tourist destination that offers tours allowing visitors to take a behind-the-scenes look at the beer production process. These tours are both informative and entertaining, providing insights into the various steps of the brewing process: from malting the grains to brewing, fermentation, and bottling.

Gasthaus Forst

The brewery's inn, often simply referred to as "Forst," is another highlight. Here, visitors can enjoy the house beers along with local South Tyrolean dishes. The kitchen is known for its authentic recipes that pair perfectly with the various beer varieties served here.

Events

On the premises of the FORST specialty beer brewery, there are two dining establishments: the "Bräustüberl" FORST inn and the Schlosswirt FORST. Both venues warmly welcome our guests almost year-round.

For example, during the summer months and at Christmas time, the Forster Christmas Forest attracts visitors with various attractions.
