When you step into our beer bar, you're not just choosing a drink; you're embarking on a journey through Europe's rich brewing heritage. Our tap beer selection is a tribute to the local legends—the craft breweries that have shaped the beer landscape and continue to inspire our offerings. Let's explore some of these remarkable beer breweries and the unique flavors they bring to our tap beer bar.

Pioneering Craft Breweries in Europe

Europe's craft beer scene has experienced a renaissance, with numerous beer breweries embracing traditional methods while introducing innovative styles. In Estonia, Põhjala Brewery stands out as the largest craft brewery in the Baltic states. Established in 2011, Põhjala is renowned for its porters and barrel-aged beers, often incorporating forest ingredients unique to the region. Their flagship beer, Virmalised, an India Pale Ale, has become a staple in many beer gardens and tap beer bars across Europe. (en.wikipedia.org)

In Germany, Brauerei Göller, located in Zeil am Main, traces its roots back to 1514. This multi-generational family brewery has garnered acclaim for its Rauchbier and Dunkel, winning multiple gold medals in international competitions. Their commitment to quality and tradition makes them a cherished name among beer enthusiasts. (en.wikipedia.org)

Innovative Spirits and Global Recognition

Denmark's Mikkeller Brewery, founded in 2006, has revolutionized the craft beer scene with its experimental approach. Operating on a "gypsy brewing" model, Mikkeller collaborates with various breweries worldwide to produce a diverse range of beers. Their annual Copenhagen Beer Celebration attracts brewers and beer lovers globally, highlighting their influence in the craft beer community. (en.wikipedia.org)

Traditional Brewing with a Modern Twist

Belgium's Trappist breweries, such as Chimay and Orval, have been brewing beer for centuries within monastic walls. These breweries adhere to strict guidelines, ensuring authenticity and quality. Their beers, often rich and complex, are a testament to the enduring tradition of monastic brewing. (en.wikipedia.org)

Did you know…?

The Reinheitsgebot, or German Beer Purity Law, enacted in 1516, allowed only water, barley, and hops in beer production. This law has significantly influenced brewing practices, ensuring purity and quality in German beers.

Our tap beer selection is a celebration of these local legends and the diverse brewing traditions they represent. Each pour tells a story of heritage, innovation, and the passion that continues to inspire our tap list.
