He was one of the first brewers to introduce modern bottom fermentation methods in Austria-Hungary (in Schwechat) and Poland (in Brzesko).

He finally settled in Klein-Schwechat, near Vienna, where he obtained a position of "Cellarer" in a brewery of another cousin, Anton.

As an assistant to his cousin over the course of six years, he improved and modernized the brewery so that eventually it became one of the best-run brewing enterprises in Austria-Hungary.

It was during that time that Götz introduced the then-new technique of bottom fermentation, which he would later utilize in his Okocim Brewery in Poland.

[citation needed] Early in 1845, Götz responded to an advertisement in the Viennese press of a local merchant, Joseph Neumann, and a Polish landowner, Julian Kodrębski, who were looking for a partner in a brewing enterprise to be set up in Brzesko (then part of the Austrian partition of Poland).
