History

Society Brewery & Distillery Altlandsberg AG stands behind Altlandsberg's brewery and distillery. According to the website, there is a long tradition in the area, where the motto reads "Bier braucht seine Heimat" (Beer needs its homeland) and the brewery produces beer according to recipes from their brewers in Altlandsberg. Their beer marketing focuses on three house beers as well as seasonal beers and a general commitment to craft, use of selected malts and quality hops.

Production/Manufacturing

Beer is primarily produced for three house beers: Altlandsberger Edel Hell, Altlandsberger Cupfer and Altlandsberger Nachtwächter, as well as seasonal beers such as Maibock and Winterbock. The beers are produced with selected malts, quality hops and special yeast, as well as locally blessed water, and kept in accordance with the German Reinheitsgebot. The beers come naturally without stabilization and pasteurization, which gives a slight turbidity with a vitamin B complex. There is also a focus on how the alcohol and hop content as well as fermentation crown and the minerals of the water contribute to the taste.

There is an option for direct purchase of beer at Schlossgut in Altlandsberg and in the town information center, and opening hours are provided for the brewery (Monday–Friday 8:00–15:00) and the town information center (daily 10:00–18:00). Delivery of beer is not possible.

Products/Whisky Series

The website highlights Altlandsberg's beer brands: Edel Hell, Cupfer and Nachtwächter as primary products, as well as Maibock and Winterbock as seasonal beers. There are detailed descriptions and prices for the 2.0-liter siphon bottles (e.g., Edel Hell, Cupfer and Nachtwächter for 30.00 EUR including siphon; Maibock and Winterbock for 31.00 EUR including siphon). No specific whisky products or whisky series are mentioned in the content. They also deal with Altlandsberger Brände, Geiste and Liqueurs under the distilling tradition since 1772, indicating production of spirits and liqueurs, but not whisky.

Visit/Experiences

In addition to beer production, the possibility of direct purchase on site as well as in the town information center is mentioned, along with opening hours for events and visits. It is also mentioned that there is no option to have beer shipped (no shipping of beer).

Philosophy

The philosophy emphasizes craft and regional raw materials, focus on natural processes, and compliance with Reinheitsgebot. The beers are produced naturally without stabilization and pasteurization, which gives natural turbidity and a vitamin content. A strong emphasis on locally sourced water and chosen malts/hops is evident, as well as a focus on taste, balance and slow development of character in the beers.
