"Brewer: Patrick Thomi. | Founded in 2012 by Jörg Schönberg and Philip Bucher, this ambitious brewery started its production in February 2013 with an initial capacity of 5'000 hl/year. Already one year later, it has been increased to 15'000 hl, then (2015) to 35'000 hl and finally to 100'000 hl since the end of 2016. The current production output should be somewhere close to 60'000 hl. Acquired the brewery Boxer (Yverdon) in June 2017 and expanded as a countrywide player in less than 5 years. Became the 17th member of the Schweizer Brauerei-Verband in May 2015. Offers exclusively top fermented beers in 2 different product lines: Chopfab (with 9 beers) and the more ""crafty"" Doppelleu with 5 beers in its core range and the serially numbered Brewmaster Editions. Good and interesting. And my top contender for the next buy-out by a worldwide player." 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

Brewer: Fritz Ledermann. | 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. HohinCo | Founded in 2019 8004 Zürich #1410
