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.
Quality is our top priority. We firmly believe that beer should be brewed with the utmost care and attention to detail. You can taste that in our beer. Aachener Landbier is a naturally cloudy, amber-colored beer. It is easy-drinking and well-balanced with a delicate malt note, a very pleasant hop aroma, and a subtle bitterness. Quality is our top priority. Karl's Helles – named after our great emperor – is a bottom-fermented, very refreshing and easy-drinking beer. It has a light body and an intriguing hop aroma.
Who are we?
We are two genuine mechanical engineers who discovered our love for brewing beer during our often rather dry studies in Aachen. And we don't do things by halves. With professional brewing equipment and traditional brewing expertise, we produce beer with character.
Our mission
Brewing is an ancient craft – we want to revive it in Aachen. We believe our city needs a proper brewery again, along with its corresponding regional beer. That's why we brew Öcher Bier.
