A group of octogenarian Austrians is celebrating after their hipster beers have become the toast of Vienna’s old folks’ homes. The pensioners began with brewing their ‘Grandma and Grandpa’ beer two years ago, and it went down so well they have now expanded into a light lager called ‘Hellmut and Hellga’, a pun on the German word for light beer, ‘helles’. The AFP news agency reports that every Thursday morning, a group of about eight men and women gather in their Viennese retirement home to brew 150 bottles, but the beers have been so successful they are having trouble keeping up with demand.
