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.
Dundalk Bay Brewery & Distillery was founded in 2015 and is a 100% Irish-owned, independent company established by Spectac International. Spectac International, the sister company, has over 30 years of experience creating bespoke breweries and distilleries for clients throughout Ireland, the UK, and beyond. Our brewing and distilling heritage dates back to the 18th century.
The idea for Dundalk Bay Brewery came about one day when the owners of Spectac International decided to take a leap into the unknown and build their own brewery and distillery business in Ireland, to create for themselves what they have been doing for many international customers for decades.
The rest is history and success...
