Vienna pensioners toast success of retirement home-made beer


Vienna (AFP) – Every Thursday morning, a group of residents in a Viennese retirement home come together to make beer. The home on the outskirts of Vienna started to offer the activity two years ago as a way to keep its residents busy. The pensioners began with brewing their “Grandma and Grandpa” beer, 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”.
