Liechtensteiner Edelbrand (Tschügger Bräu)

Behind the Liechtensteiner Edelbrand association, founded in 2008 in Schellenberg to distil fruit from local orchards, hides one of Europe's smallest breweries. Since 2011 Florian Goop has brewed the Tschügger here, a pale lager made by hand in micro-batches in the family workshop, alongside rarities such as an IPA aged in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and a barrel-aged imperial stout. Sold only through local partners and carrying the "Genuss aus Liechtenstein" label, Tschügger is a trophy for beer hunters: living proof that a village of a thousand inhabitants can have its very own terroir beer, brewed a few steps from the Schellenberg castle ruins.
