In the most western part of Austria there is a small village named Egg. Egg is located at an altitude of 564 meters up in the Alps in the region Bregenzerwald. This village has a population of almost 3500 and has its own small independent local brewery named Brauerei Egg.

Brauerei Egg was founded in May 1894 and produced the beer Egger ever since. It was founded as a joint venture between several inn hosts in the Egg community. The most important persons in the start of the brewery were the three Kaspars; Kaspar Simma, Kaspar Kohler and Kaspar Ritter.
