ABOUT BIERZENTRALE
First of all, thank you for visiting our webpage. Note that this site is temporary in English, we will translate it as soon as possible. We are grateful for your understanding !
We started brewing in our kitchen in 2012. Two pots, barrels and a hand bottler were our tools. As this passion grew, we decided to improve our knowledge and we obtained our Swiss beer sommelier diplomas. Now we put our expertise at the service of our passion.
Now we have a professional line plant from 200 lt. comming direclty from Italy, the production is craft and voluntarily limited to ensure an exceptional quality. We can provide the entire process in our small brewery, including bottling !
Our brew follows instinct.
Evolution of our equipment
LOCAL PRODUCTS
We have decided to only use raw materials available in our country. All the ingredients we use to create our beers are available within 100 km of the brewery. Some of our beers are organic quality (Bio Suisse Knospe). We like to deal directly with the producers and ensure the quality of our product from the field.
Our beers contain no added sugar, non hop extract, no colouring, no preservatives, no artificial flavouring or other additives (lactose, fructose, cocoa, coffee…) and are naturally filtered.
