| "Brewer: Christian Schenkl. | Opened on August 26th 2006. A brewery started with lot of ambitions considering the brewing capacities and enjoying a lot of success at fast speed. Some contract brewing: Goldküstenbräu and Oberlanderbräu (until 2012; same beers as Kellerfrisch and Amber), Lozaernerbier (same recipe also), Fischerstube Ueli Winterbogg (2009-2011), Falkenbräu Festbier (until Spring 2014) and Züri-Bräu Original (since 2014). Good beers but by far not enough sorts and creativity. Has been able to grow further despite a reduction of contract brewing (was once about 25% of the production, today probably only about 10% though the new contract with Züri-Bräu could be interesting). Has reached its maximum production capacity." ![]() ![]() Augass-Bräu | Founded in 2017 3098 Schliern #972

| "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 Unfortunately a lack of reaction to the new beer trends as well as an outdated traditional corporate image lead Egger to continual decrease of the production output (nowadays probably light above 20'000 hl).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 ![]()
