Brewing with Vienna Malt
History
While it is now considered a high-kilned malt, Vienna malt was one of the earliest pale malts and formed the basis for a new breed of lighter lagers exemplified by Anton Dreher's Vienna Lager.

Beer styles
Vienna malt traditionally makes up up to 100% of the grist of Vienna Lager and the bulk of the related Märzen style. Other beer styles sometimes use Vienna malt to add malty complexity and light toasty notes to lighter base malts, or to lighten the grist of a beer brewed with mostly Munich malt. Examples include Baltic Porter, Dunkelweizen, and most styles of Bock.
