The world is facing major challenges. This affects every single one of us, us as a society, and us as a company. We are aware that online retail entails an increased carbon footprint. With every step and every bit of growth that is possible thanks to you as part of our amazing craft beer community, we also want to give something back. We have taken several measures to save as much CO2 as possible, offset our emissions , and even neutralize additional CO2 .
Shipping at Beer Belly Cologne is climate neutral! We are a partner of "Planet" and therefore automatically offset the CO2 emissions generated during the individual shipping of our packages.
But that's not all. For every order you place with Beer Belly Cologne, the Eden Reforestation Project plants a tree, and together we improve our carbon footprint. Learn more about the project here . Our Impact Report provides transparent updates on our progress.
We collect all our beers directly from regional breweries. Short and direct routes are good for the beer and the environment.
We also receive beer deliveries by mail. We reuse the cardboard boxes provided by the breweries to send you the beer. So don't be surprised if you receive a used, not new, box.
To save resources, especially for our shipping partners, we pack your order in the smallest possible packaging size.
Bliksem Brewery: As old as nature itself, dangerous, and always surprising: Bliksem! Honest beer from bon vivants for bon vivants. Good beer and good music are the perfect combination for us, preferably uncompromising and hardcore. Screw Monday mornings, have fun!
Specialty beer has been brewed and enjoyed for a long time. A fine tradition, but the beer-loving Dutch are waiting for yet another traditional beer specialty. We don't see it that way! Tradition is good, but Lightning likes to add its own twist. We develop challenging recipes that are based on traditions, but aren't always traditional. We play with traditions, old and new beer styles, constantly experimenting and exploring new flavors. Bliksem produces surprising beers that are always packed with flavor.
We prefer thick, full-bodied beers with a robust flavor, a Burgundian base with a contrasting attitude. This contrast translates perfectly to our musical tastes: metal, rock, punk, and hardcore—hard and uncompromising. For us, this music is a natural match for our beer. You feel these musical styles in your gut and sing along with your heart. The same applies to our beers, from the recipe to the label.
