The distillery BIFRA in Hirm in Burgenland has been run as a family business by Edeltraud and Franz Bichl since 1991. Under the name BIFRA (BIchl FRAnz), they produce around 50 different fruit brandies and liqueurs, including rarities such as service tree, sour cherry, gray poppy, and porcini mushroom. The brandies age undiluted in glass balloons for at least three months and are then adjusted to drinking strength with in-house Grander water. The quality is regularly tasted within the family, with each family member acting as a godparent for a specific variety. The distillery has been operating independently of the grid since 2010 using a photovoltaic system. Tastings and sales directly from the farm are available by prior arrangement.
