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.
Schildchen Bräu is local, diverse, and honest! The new beer from the Bergisches Land region has adopted the motto "Homeland in a bottle."
Schildchen Bräu is handcrafted beer, made with a great love for the art of brewing. The recipes are developed in Bergisch Gladbach-Schildgen and then brewed in small batches exclusively at a local partner brewery – because regionality is good and important!
The use of high-quality raw materials, genuine craftsmanship in the brewing process, and meticulous attention to detail ensure a truly special beer experience. Schildchen Bräu is a genuine natural product, unfiltered and without artificial additives, for full flavor and pure enjoyment – craftsmanship you can taste!
Owner Martin Büchel discovered his love for good beer and brewing a few years ago during a trip around the world. He ordered ingredients and equipment right at the airport and brewed his first beer in his own kitchen immediately upon his return. A lot has happened since then. Martin describes himself as a hobby brewer, but his products demonstrate solid expertise and a great deal of experimentation.
He now brews his beers according to his own recipe at a partner brewery, thus sharing his passion for good and honest, handcrafted beers.
