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.
Wheat beer (Weizenbier, Weizen) is a top-fermented beer that must be made with at least 50% wheat malt. Wheat beers are distinguished by their color (from light to dark), but primarily by their brewing method. Originally, there was only the unfiltered, naturally cloudy "Hefeweizen," traditionally produced through bottle fermentation, in which the yeast settles visibly at the bottom of the bottle. In "Kristallweizen," the yeast and suspended solids are filtered out. The original gravity is between 11.5% and 13.5%, and the alcohol content is between 4.5% and 5.5%. Depending on the malt used, wheat beer ranges in color from light yellow to dark brown. The darker varieties generally have a higher alcohol content.
