| Brewers: Christian Schenkl and Ludwig Stranzky. | Founded by a local businessman and opened on August 26th 2006 with a solid initial brewing capacity. The production went from 1600 hl during the first year, 4000 in 2011 and reaches about 6300 nowadays (about the capacity limits). Aare Bier has for many years been specialized in contract brewing (accounting up to 25% of their production): Goldküstenbräu and Oberlanderbräu (until 2012), Lozärnerbier (until 2018), Fischerstube Ueli Winterbogg (2009-2011), Falkenbräu Festbier (until Spring 2014) and Züri-Bräu Original (2014). Those times are over which left some places for their own beers. Brews also the Bier-Bienne beers. The company has 8 employees and offers 4 core beers and every leap year - well, in any case, rarely - some one-shot. Good quality but - by far - not enough diversity. ![]() ![]() Augass-Bräu | Founded in 2017 3098 Schliern #972

| Brewer: Tobias and Samuel Aeschlimann. | Started officially as hobby brewers in 2012 and was brewing on the installations of the former 523 brewery between 2014 and 2016. Back to Burgdorf since October 2016 with a brewing installation of 12 hl. Employs 3 people is should open their own bar by the end of 2020. Using its own wild yeasts, this brewery is inspired by the belgian farmhouse tradition and offers 6 core beers and many one-shots (some of them barrel-aged). Talented people, interesting, creative and very good beers. Clearly a top ten brewery in the country. BLZ Company | ![]() Founded in 2015 le Coin 21 | 2645 Orvin ![]() #703

| "Brewer: David Santschi. | Founded in 1863 by Gottfried Egger at his return from the USA (where he also just founded a brewery), this brewery is nowadays run by the 6th generation. With about 40 employees this enterprise took advantage of the closure of the Gurten brewery and reached a peak of production with 30'000 hl in 1997. Unfortunately a lack of reaction to the new beer trends as well as an outdated traditional corporate image lead Egger to continual decrease of the production output (nowadays probably light above 20'000 hl). Offers almost exclusively traditional german-styles beers (and, IMHO, of pretty low quality) and limited editions called ""small batch"". Would be part of my list if you asked me which breweries are in danger to close at short- or medium-term." ![]() ![]() Eich - Bühl - Bier | Founded in 2017 3645 Zwieselberg #1053

| Brewer: Josef and Pascal Meier. | Founded by Johann Gustav Hemmann in 1881, this family-owned enterprise is run nowadays by the 6th generation and has about 25 employees. After reaching a production high of 25'000 hl during the 60s and the 70s, it dropped drastically to 8'000 (~2005) before increasing again impressively to 25'000 again (2018). Since 2002 the logistic is handled by Heineken. Despite being conservative (don't look for craft beer styles here) this brewery bases its success upon taking advantage of the trend to drink local beers as well as upon a clever marketing. ![]() ![]() Fjord & Fjell | ![]() Founded in 2016 Hirschweid 508 | 3113 Rubigen ![]()
