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.
A brewery in Neumünster – with its own brewing equipment, a small taproom, and direct sales from the cold storage. Direct customer contact and feedback. Everyone can see where and how the beer is brewed, taste it, and if they like it, buy bottles to take home.
THE FIRST BREWERY IN NEUMÜNSTER SINCE 1986
Every step, from the recipe idea to the finished beer, in our own hands. That was our dream when we started making the Wittorf Brewery a reality in the spring of 2017.
After a long search, we found a building on the grounds of an old textile factory in Neumünster-Wittorf. Red brick, a great location, and plenty of space for a beer garden. The ideal spot for a small brewery. The lease was quickly signed, and construction of the first brewery in Neumünster since 1986 could begin.
THE MAIN THING IS THAT IT TASTES GOOD!
Officially opened in early 2018, we brew a wide variety of beer styles, from Pilsner to New England India Pale Ale. We are particularly passionate about the brewing history of the city of Neumünster and the old Hinselmann Brewery, which supplied the workers of the cloth and leather factories with delicious beer until 1922. We strive to revive these old beer styles and recipe ideas and reinterpret them in our own way. At the same time, we keep an eye on what new beer styles are currently being developed in the beer scene and what's currently trending internationally. We brew the beer that our customers and we ourselves are craving – as long as it tastes good!
