Vienna Lager is a balanced beer style, with malt and hops, a bright amber/copper color and an alcohol content of 4.7% to 5.5% ABV. Its origins date back to the 1820s and 1830s, when Anton Dreher and Gabriel Sedlmayr took a trip through Europe, learning British brewing techniques. They brought British technologies to Central Europe, including rapid wort cooling and sanitation techniques. The fundamental change was the transition from the production of top-fermented beer (Ales) to bottom-fermented beer (Lagers). Dreher introduced bottom-fermented beer, launching "Klein-Schwechater Lagerbier" (later called Vienna Lager) in 1841. Its success was due to its light color, visible in clear bottles, making him known as "the king of beer." .
