The Beer Party (German: die Bierpartei, BIER) is an Austrian satirical political party. Founded in 2014, it was originally known as the Beer Party of Austria (Bierpartei Österreich) and used the corresponding abbreviation BPÖ until its renaming in 2020. The party's activity is confined to Vienna, where BIER first appeared on ballots in the 2019 Austrian legislative election[2] and appeared again in the 2020 Viennese state election.[3] As of 2020, it has been unable to amass the votes required for representation in the National Council, Federal Council, or the Landtage, claiming 0.6% of Viennese votes in 2019[4] and 1.8% in 2020.[5] However, the party was able to win mandates in 11 of Vienna's districts.[6] The party is organized purely at the federal level without state parties.
Since 2024 the abbreviation BIER is interpreted by the party as "Bin in einer Reformbewegung" (I am in a reform movement)[7]
