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.
We are a private brewery with a long tradition in beer culture. For around 530 years, sustainability, regionality, local value creation, and above all, the quality of our beers and services have been our top priorities. This quality is only possible because we exclusively use the finest local ingredients for our beer.
The values to which we have been committed since the brewery's founding in 1492 have made us Austria's leading private brewer. The brewery's success is inextricably linked to the name "Kiener." For more than 120 years, the brewery has been owned by the Kiener family, and since the end of 1990, Dr. Heinrich Dieter Kiener (III.) has been at the helm.
During this time, Stiegl evolved from a small regional brewery into Austria's leading private brewery. As an independent entrepreneur, Heinrich Dieter Kiener takes responsibility by fostering a healthy, regional economic structure with over 700 secure jobs across Austria. Using local ingredients and treating natural resources with respect is our top priority. And in everything we do, we prioritize treating our customers, suppliers, and employees with respect. Because we strive for the highest quality not only in our beer, but also in our brewing expertise, representing the art of brewing at its finest.
