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.
THE DROWNED LANDS IS A FARM BREWERY THAT WAS FOUNDED AS A TRIBUTE TO THE SOIL ON WHICH IT WAS BUILT.
It is the result of years of research and inspiration from the land. The beer we brew is inspired by the most fertile soil in the country – linked to time and place – and influenced by ancient techniques and modern innovations.
Everything worth doing takes time. Take it slow and stay a while.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
WE BELIEVE THAT IN A WORLD WHERE THERE WILL SOON BE 10,000 CRAFT BREWERIES, THE NEXT GENERATION OF GREAT BREWERIES WILL BE THOSE THAT BEST CONNECT THE DRINKER WITH THE AGRICULTURE, THE SEASONS, THE SPECIAL REGION WHERE THE BEER IS BREWED, AND THE DRINK ITSELF.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE CONCEPT OF TERROIR – THE CHARACTER AND FLAVOR CONVEYED BY THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH IT IS PRODUCED – IS AN UNDER-EXPLORED CONCEPT IN AMERICAN CRAFT BEER AND ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING FORMS OF EXPRESSION STILL TO BE DISCOVERED.
WE FOUNDED THE DROWNED LANDS TO DELIBERATELY PURSUITE THESE CONCEPTS – TO BREW EXCEPTIONAL CRAFT BEER THAT EXPRESSES THE NATURAL MINERAL PROFILE OF OUR WATER, THE SEASONALITY OF OUR LOCAL FARMING AND THE TASTE OF LOCAL MICROBE IN OUR HOME MICROBE CULTURE – TO EXPRESS AND SHARE THE “ESSENCE” OF OUR LAND WITH YOU.
