Overview

An hour below street level, tasting beer. This guided tasting run by mal anders gmbh takes place in a historic private cellar near Fleischmarkt in Vienna's city center, a space travelers described as cool and phenomenal. A local beer sommelier guides the group through five beers from small and little-known Viennese and regional manufacturers.

The session is part tasting, part storytelling. Between pours you hear how beer is made, why Austria sits just behind the Czech Republic in per capita consumption, and a batch of Austrian colloquial terms you can try out yourself. Snacks and water come with the tasting, so there is something to soak up the beer as you go.

The format suits both committed beer drinkers and people who barely know a pilsner from a lager. The operator pitches it at newcomers as well as enthusiasts, and reviewers consistently praised the host's knowledge and manner. There is no hotel pickup; you make your own way to the meeting point at Fleischmarkt 19. The experience is restricted to adults, specifically anyone over 16.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points worth knowing before you book this tasting.

Finding the spot. The meeting point is Fleischmarkt 19 in the 1010 district. There is no pickup, so plan your own route and allow time to find the entrance.
Underground setting. The tasting happens several floors down in a cellar. Reviews single out the location as a highlight, but expect a subterranean room rather than a street-level bar.
Small group feel. One reviewer reported being part of a group of only two, so the format can feel close and conversational. The host is a beer sommelier who guides the session from start to finish.
Food and drink. Five beers are included, along with regional snacks and water. Do not expect a meal; the food is there to accompany the tasting. Gratuity is not included.
Language and pace. The tour runs in English and German. It lasts one hour, which makes it easy to slot into a day of sightseeing without a long commitment.
Who can come. The listing restricts the tasting to adults over 16. The operator describes it as suitable for beer newcomers as well as enthusiasts.

Common issues. The main gripe in reviews concerns value: one visitor felt the price was a little steep for five beers, though the same reviewer still called it a successful evening. One other review mentioned three beers rather than five. The cellar setting means the venue sits well below street level. Gratuity is not included, and there is no pickup or transport, so you must reach Fleischmarkt 19 on your own.
