All the usual soft drinks (colas, lemonade, juices) are widely available. Austrian specialities include Almdudler, a drink made from mountain herbs and tasting of elderflower, often used as a mixer with white wine. A very refreshing soft drink is a mix of apple juice and sparkling water (apfelgespritz or apfelschorle). The popular energy drink Red Bull originated in Japan, but was introduced into Europe by an Austrian entrepreneur who still has his head office near Salzburg. Pasture huts often sell milk straight from the dairy, although the milk in refuges is usually UHT.

Grostl (Tyrollean pork and potato hash)

Tyrol, like nearby Bavaria, is a beer consuming region and beer is available from a wide variety of local and national breweries. Many refuges, except those in the most remote locations, have both bottled and draught beer. The main types of beer are German style lagers and hefeweizen (wheat beer). Wheat beer popularity is increasing and can be found in both helles (pale) and dunkles (dark) varieties. Very refreshing and slightly sweet tasting, wheat beer is unfiltered and thus naturally cloudy in appearance. Beer is sold in a number of standard measures; Pfiff (200mm), Kleines or Seidel (300mm) and Grosses or Halbe (half litre). Hefeweizen is traditionally served in half litre, vase shaped glasses.
