Brauerei Hirt: A passion for the authentic
The Hirt private brewery sees itself primarily as a Pils beer brewery, but has also produced exceptional beer brandies since 1998.
Only special beers are used to create the Braumeisterbrand brandy, and pure brewed beer is used for the mashing process and is distilled in a column distillery. The fruity aroma develops after a long time in storage. The Zigarrenbrand cigar brandy is stored in French oak barriques following the distillation process, where it is left to mature for over five years.
The Hirter GenussAkademie offers a demanding range of courses – for amateur brewers as well as for top catering professionals, seminars on pairing beer with various foods, and certified beer sommelier courses. 16 speciality beers are produced in Hirt, which include the Privat Pils based on an old Bohemian recipe, the dark Morchl, the malty 1270, and the non-alcoholic Freigeist.
At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Hirter Braumeisterbrand and Hirter Zigarrenbrand.

Edward Snell – Whisky from South Africa
Edward Snell founded a trading company in Durban in 1848, from which the oldest spirit company in South Africa developed over 160 years. Following an eventful history, the company is now once again in the hands of the family. Besides their own brands they also sell numerous local and international drink brands, mostly in various markets in Africa and the Middle East.
The wide range of products includes whisky, brandy, vodka, rum, gin, tequila and cognac. One outstanding label is Firstwatch Whisky with its new look, a striking, square bottle design. Consumer demand for a whisky with an American taste profile has been perfected over time and is presented today as a balanced blend of the finest imported rye and grain. Whether pure, on the rocks or mixed – its diversity makes it popular with many different target groups and successful in one of the largest spirit segments in South Africa.
