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.
ScharrenBräu is the new microbrewery in Cologne. Timo Scharrenbroich, a young, Cologne-born master brewer, established his own small brewery in Porz-Wahn in 2017, where he has been diligently creating and brewing handcrafted beers since the beginning of 2018. The brewery's founding was long overdue: his creative beers are very popular in the Porz area. A real Cologne lad has to do what a Cologne lad has to do.
As a true Cologne native and beer lover, it was a natural step for young entrepreneur Timo Scharrenbroich to enter the beer business. But what's a Cologne native if he's not also a bit crazy? With plenty of creativity and quirky ideas, Timo Scharrenbroich is reinterpreting an old brewing tradition. In doing so, he's contributing to the growth of Cologne's beer culture while preserving traditional brewing craftsmanship.
