Virtual Happy Hour: Brats and Beers on a Budget at Bierbeisl

Most Angelenos are probably more familiar with chef Bernhard Mairinger's Austrian counterpart (and BH neighbor) Wolfgang Puck. But that will change, especially if his restaurant Bierbeisl keeps wowing the crowds as it has since its opening. And just this past week, he brought in a a 14- year-old wunderkind to cook in his kitchen, making it even more buzzy.
But you shouldn't let all the buzz -- or the zip code -- deter you. Sure, Mairinger's comforting Austrian fare doesn't come cheap. But there are ways to skirt such things, like their happy hour, which offers $7 sausages and 10 oz. draft beers.
The HH launches today, and will go from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. every weekday from here on out. You can pick from some of the unique sausage options, like the käsekrainer made with Swiss cheese, or the more traditional bangers like the cabanossi or weiswurst. The meats are served with spicy whole grain mustard and freshly grated horseradish.

All of the sausages are made up in Glendale at Schreiner's Fine Sausages with chef Mairinger's recipes. And they go perfectly with the Austrain beers on tap. Your server can help steer you in the right direction, but if you're feeling more independent, there are suggestions next to each link on the menu.
The best part about this new happy hour special is that you can get out of Bierbeisl spending under $20 -- that is of course, if you can resist the temptation to order a glass or two schnapps. We weren't so strong.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
