TEG: Beer and whisky with more life and history
Technikum Extrakt Getränke (Technical Centre Extract Drinks) is the company’s full description. The force behind it is Lava Bräu, a small, excellent manufacturer of brewed and distilled drinks in the Styrian Vulkanland region. They are setting new benchmarks both in brewing and distilling. Carefully selected, organic ingredients and the close involvement in the production process create tasteful beers that are neither filtrated nor pasteurised.
Whisky mashes are also made in the brewery. Lava Bräu produced Austria’s first organic single malt and is breaking new ground in barrel maturation, for which white wine and red wine barrels from regional winegrowers are used, as well as cherrywood and mulberry wood barrels. Lava Bräu pays special attention to sustainability: the precious bottles are adorned with stoppers made by carpenters.
Bio-Brisky is a standalone product. Its manufacture is based firstly on processes from strong beer brewing, and secondly on traditional fruit brandy production, technologically optimised and adapted to suit the requirements of fine malt. It is whisky made according to the bourbon tradition and has been organic since 2012. After barrel maturation, over 60 per cent of the corn distillate is combined with volcanic well water and Single Malt Brisky. Since 2009, the fine whisky specialities have been distilled in a vacuum. This gentle handling of the mash ensures its unique fruitiness.
At the World Spirits Award, there was silver for Bio-Brisky, Bio-Whisky matured in rum barrels and Smokie Torfrauch Whisky.

Luding Group: Vodka Tchaikovsky as a high-spirited homage to the famous composer
At the beginning of the 1990s, the modern distillery ‘Fortuna’ was launched in a green field in the south of Russia – in the Krasnodar region, a strip of land with spa resorts and health centres. The distillery has specialised in unusual products, in a region with a particularly green fingerprint. The vodka created in honour of the great Russian composer Tchaikovsky is special. The concept for this exceptional product is comparable with one of his musical scores: the work ‘Swan Lake’ served as an inspiration. Art enthusiasts can thus immerse themselves in the history of Russian estate life in the 19th century. The traditional white and blue colours underline the purity of this vodka.
The technical particularities span a wide quality-orientated spectrum: from the selected wheat, their own well water and the special treatment of the distillate with skimmed milk powder to the crystal-clear filtration with active birch coal. With so much perfectionism and monitoring of the individual production steps, the result is an especially gentle, animating and very typical vodka based on wheat. After the diluting of alcohol and pure distillate, the production process is continued with maturation in steel tanks. The aim is to ‘wed’ both ‘waters’, resulting in an especially harmonious vodka.
At the World Spirits Award 2022, Vodka Tchaikovsky was awarded double gold and honoured as the best vodka with the title ‘Spirit of the Year’.
