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.
It all started with a dream. Okay, let's be honest, it started with a glass of beer. Brewed by someone else.
Dream big. Always dream big, you know. We started small because, in the beginning, all we had was our dream. We didn't own any equipment, so our first beers were brewed in another city and in a completely different mash tun. But we took it one step at a time, and soon our own, very handcrafted and hand-assembled brewery arrived from Bila Tserkva. We installed it here in Kyiv in the premises of the former wooden house—"lisopylka" in Ukrainian, hence the name of the brewery—and continued to pursue our dream.
Today we have a new, state-of-the-art brewery, and we're very proud of it. Don't think we've thrown away our small but beloved old brewing equipment, because, as you might have guessed, we have BIG plans for it. And we're still dreaming big. We simply want to share this dream of better beer, more enjoyment, and a richer and more diverse beer culture with you.
