Production / Manufacturing

We master the craft and brew according to the highest quality standards. In 2022, a 60 hectoliter Sudhaus was put into operation with facilities such as Rohfruchteinsatz, decoction, induction, temperature control of the malt and the malt's vordråber, and the possibility to add hops from up to 10 varieties per brew. The flexibility makes it possible to brew according to one's own recipe starting from 60 hectoliters. For smaller batches (from about 10 hL) the specialty brewery in Baden can handle the tasks.

Special Facilities: - Baden Specialty Brewery: annual capacity 4,000 hL; option for individual Suden from 10 hL including decoction, Schonkochverfahren and cold hopping; brewing according to customer’s recipes and filling in all common containers as well as cans. - Tank storage: Fermentation, filtration and storage with its own groundwater and yeast culture; 8 fermentation tanks (4,212 hL gross), 7 storage tanks (6,320 hL), and 24,000 bottles/hour or 15,000 cans/hour for distribution. - Sudhuse and capacities: 5 Sudpfannen (daily production about 10 brews of 60 hL). - Hefe-Reinzucht: Own yeast culture.

Canning Competence and Packaging: - Switzerland's first brewery with its own can-filling facility; since November 2012 the line fills 15,000 cans/hour in 0.5- and 0.33-liter formats, also in Sleek format; end packaging can be adapted with minimal changeover distance. - Micro-fillers since January 2024 for small runs between 1,000 and 25,000 cans; formats Sleek 33 cl, Standard 33 cl, 44 cl and 50 cl; minimum order 500 liters (approximately 1,000 cans of 50 cl or 1,500 cans of 33 cl). - Can design and branding: collaboration with NOMOQ for can production and LOGEZ as a full-time agency for design and verification. Possibility for 100% individually designed cans and strong marketing value at events.
