Trumer Pils is a prestigious Austrian beer brand with a heritage dating back to 1601. The Hopfenspiel variant is a specialty low-alcohol 'Session Pils' known for its vibrant hop aroma and crisp finish. The brand originates from Obertrum am See, near Salzburg, where the Trumer Privatbrauerei remains the heart of its operations and tradition.

The global presence of Trumer is unique due to its dual production strategy. While the original brewery in Austria serves the European market, the brand established a sister brewery in Berkeley, California, in 2004 to ensure freshness for the North American market. Despite this international footprint, the brand remains ultra-traditional, emphasizing the 'slow brewing' process and the use of original Austrian recipes and specialized yeast.

Ownership of the brand is currently held by the Sigl family, who have owned the Trumer Privatbrauerei for generations. Unlike many historic European beer brands that have been acquired by multinational conglomerates, Trumer remains a fiercely independent, family-owned entity. This independence allows them to maintain a strict focus on the specialized Pilsner brewing techniques that have defined their identity for over four centuries.
