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.
At the end of 2014, after six months of construction, we opened the "Prawda" brewery in the former TSUM (Central Department Store) premises on Lviv's central square. Czech engineering, Belgian consulting, a German bottling plant, a Spanish casting system, an American brewer – it seems like the whole planet helped us! Six months after launching, we sent our newly brewed stout, "Vid Syanu do Donu," to the Brussels Beer Challenge without any particular expectations – and we won bronze! Later, we also won silver and even gold there, but the first award is still the most memorable.
The Pravda brewery is now located at 24-26 Staroznesenska Street. We have tripled our capacity and can now brew 1.5 million liters of beer per year.
Although we'll be seven years old in 2021, we feel like we've only just begun to learn. There are still countless styles, collaborations, trips, and ideas to realize. Ukraine is incredibly rich in fruits, berries, and spices, so you can create a new beer almost every day.
Thank you so much for joining us on this endless, exciting journey!
