Brewer: Adrian Zeh. | Their beers (Goldküstenbräu and Oberländerbräu) were contract brewed at Aare-Bier until April 2012. Their own brewery opened in April 2012 (initialy scheduled for December 2011) in Uster. They also had a joint venture with Usterbräu. The Goldküstenbräu and the Oberländerbräu Hell were the same beers as Aare-Bier Kellerfrisch. And so was Oberländerbräu Amber the same as Aare-Bier Amber. And I don't want to talk about the Uster Export... Four years later they finally started to brew themselves. Brews Seebueb beer under contract since May 2016.

Brewer: Philipp Wagner. | An ambitious new brewery which started at a capacity of 6'000 hl/year (2013) and should reach 35'000 hl only 3 years after. A next extension will bring this brewery at 100'000 in 2016/2017 ! Top fermented beers (unusual for a brewery with this profile) and pretty good. Became the 17th member of the Schweizer Brauerei-Verband in May 2015 and acquired Boxer in June 2017 (effective from January 2018). Dr. Brauwolf |  Founded in 2017 Räffelstrasse 26 | 8045 Zürich

Brewer: Thomas Schmid | An interesting concept: you can rent this mobile brewery for a party. But the quality of their beers fell down after a very short interesting start and the fact of brewing dangerous spice- and herb-based experiments does not help … In any cases one of the worst breweries in the country. Originally called Mobile-Brauerei and has changed its name to Fahrtwind in 2010. Fläsche |  Founded in 2012 Rudishaldenstrasse 4 | 8800 Thalwil

One of the very first microbrewery in Switzerland and started in 1992 bei Werner Ledermann (though it seems it has been officially registered only later in 1998). | Since 2005 and after the death of the founder, it is now his son Fritz who is pursuing the adventure as a one-man show.Brewing almost only between September and April, Herzbräu remains a hobby brewery with a very tiny output of 30 hl yearly. Despite enjoying a big success and having had different loan offers, Fritz Ledermann has no interest to expand. Brewing exclusively (or almost ?) bottom fermented beers, this brewery like german-style beers without adherence to the Reinheitsgebot and is experimenting with different cereals.You can expect solid quality beers.
