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.
Hoppy People was founded in 2016 by hop enthusiasts Olivier Brighenti and David Bonjour. Hoppy People follows in the footsteps of the craft beer revolutionaries of the early 1980s in the United States and Scandinavia.
After five years of homebrewing, we took the plunge and purchased a 20-hectoliter brewing system and six 24-hectoliter fermentation tanks. The brewery is located in Sierre (Valais), in an industrial park, in a warehouse covered with solar panels, allowing the entire production process to be powered by clean energy. This is a significant advantage, as Sierre is the sunniest city in Switzerland. In 2018, we added five more 45-hectoliter fermentation tanks.
Our main range includes five hop-forward beers (Pale Ale and various IPAs) as well as a Belgian Strong Ale. Every few weeks/months, we also brew unique varieties to explore the endless possibilities of brewing and offer you new sensory experiences.
