TYRELL - Brewing Art Studio

Enjoy and celebrate together!

And this is with beers that continue to mature in the bottle and develop in exciting ways over the years. A must-have for your own beer cellar.

As the only brewery in Germany, we focus exclusively on beers that can be aged. In doing so, we are venturing into a genre that is still unknown to many people.

The motivation for this developed over many years that I, Thomas Tyrell, spent in the world of brewing. The desire to create that special brew that guides a menu matured over time – just like a good beer.

Let our beer menus inspire you!


The special moment

Do you know that feeling: A person who means a lot to you and means well is visiting, and you want to celebrate the moment with something special?

Do you know that feeling: You want to plan an evening and are looking for the "common" theme, the inspiration?

Do you know that feeling: You find a special bottle of wine in your cellar that you had long forgotten about?

Do you know that feeling: You're looking for a gift to enjoy that will also surprise you?

We brew our beers precisely for these moments.

Bottle aging
Excursion on beer and its properties

What happens to beer after it's bottled? Why are there beer styles meant for immediate consumption and others that offer a special treat or even increase in value after years?

The brewer has a wide variety of techniques and resources available to create a unique taste experience:

Cereal-based elements, like those we know from bakeries.

Cocoa and roasted aromas from malt roasted like coffee.
Fruity aromas from the hops, reminiscent of grapes, tropical and local fruits.

Wood maturation, to create a pleasant background note but also a "wild" ambience.

Fermentation notes, characterized by the flavor carrier alcohol and also fermentation acid.

This bouquet of flavor nuances changes over time, with some aromas becoming more pronounced and overpowering others. It's a constant ebb and flow that the brewer must be intimately familiar with.

Beers with dominant roasted aromas are best suited for long bottle aging. These aromas are particularly stable and balance well with flavors that develop over time. Darker beer styles are therefore preferred for bottle aging.

Another category of beer that remains enjoyable even after decades is sour beer. Berliner Weisse is one of the best-known examples. The existing or developing acidity acts as a stabilizing element, allowing delicate fruit aromas to develop over a long period.

The presence of microorganisms in the beer is crucial for bottle conditioning. These living organisms have a reducing effect. A high alcohol content, in addition to its role as a flavor carrier, also guarantees a positively long storage and maturation period.

In our BrauKunstAtelier (Brewing Art Studio), we pay close attention to these connections. Our beers are unfiltered and natural, and if stored in a cool place, they remain a pleasure even after years.

Our tip - always buy 2 bottles: one for immediate tasting and one for storage and aging.

The brewmaster

Thomas Tyrell decided to leave school at the age of 15 and dedicate his life to beer. Perhaps a somewhat rash decision in retrospect, but he is still very happy with his decision.

He took his first steps as a brewer at Pott's Brewery in 1991, starting his apprenticeship as a brewer and maltster.

Positions held as a brewer and brewmaster 1996 – 2006:

Saxer Brewing, OR, USA; Wettringer Brauhaus; Weißbräu, Cologne; Magister Cerveceria, Spain; Queenshead Brewpub, South Korea; Cerveceria Polar, Venezuela
During this time he also began his studies at TU Berlin to become a brewing engineer, which he successfully completed in 2006.

He then spent several years as a project engineer, consultant, and lecturer at the Research and Teaching Institute for Brewing in Berlin. He received his doctorate in engineering in 2014.

From 2015 onwards, he built and managed the production facilities of Stone Brewing in Berlin-Mariendorf and was responsible for a wide variety of beer creations. This was documented in the film "The Beer Jesus of America".

Since 2020, he has been running his own brewing art studio. Finally, ......
