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.
Since 1998, we have been brewing exceptional beers – born from the roots of the North and shaped by the art of brewing. No frills, no fuss – just great beer, brewed to be shared, savored, and enjoyed.
Founded in 1998 by former Tetley brewer Bob Lawson, Ossett Brewery began as a small brewpub in a disused building at the rear of The Brewers on Healey Road, Ossett. As business flourished and Bob's son and current co-owner Jamie Lawson acquired the Ossett Brewery Pub site in 2003, the brewery expanded and moved next door to the old factory site at Kings Yard, where it remains today.
Following the expansion of tank capacity, a new packaging building and a complete overhaul of the existing brewhouse in 2017, the company now employs over 650 people in Ossett and SALT, brews over 50,000 casks per year, operates 32 of its own pubs and bars and distributes its products nationwide in pubs across the UK and in five major supermarkets.
