The BIFRA distillery in Hirm, 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, cornelian cherry, gray poppy, and porcini mushroom. The brandies mature 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 serving as a godparent for their own variety. The distillery places great importance on sustainability and has been operating independently of the grid with a photovoltaic system since 2010. Tastings and farm sales are available by prior arrangement.
