The hipster among the craft beer brewers is clearly Benedikt von BlechBrut: With a cap on his head, trendy label designs and stylish in the can, BlechBrut is on fleek. From the very beginning, the Bamberg Gypsy Brewery brewed its beer in the hallowed halls of the traditional Camba brewery in Gundelfinden. Nevertheless, BlechBrut stands out quite clearly from what the rental brewery produces. The mere risk of selling beer in cans again is a unique selling point in times when cans are more synonymous with cheap beer than with great enjoyment. Counteracting this reputation, Blechbrut scores with minimalist labels, creative names and excellent beers.
Simple, easy and trendy.
Blech.Brut is committed to bringing new impetus to the dusty beer tradition. The centuries-old brewing business needs young faces to bring beer into the new millennium and into the minds (or stomachs) of new beer consumers. Benedikt's ambition is to expand the horizons of Franconian beer drinkers, to give them a look beyond their own noses and to broaden their perception of beer. In short, with BlechBrut he wants to shake up the Franconian and international beer scene in an elegant, artistic way and offer Schlenkerla drinkers a hip alternative.
Benedikt Steger, the head and body behind the Blechbrut label, decided after a few trial semesters in various study programs and an insight into the seriousness of making a living to earn a living, to make his passion for beer official. In Mönchsambach he learned the craft of brewing and malting. In Berlin, London and Paris, the accomplished brewer got a taste of the big city and learned everything a future avant-gardist in the beer scene would need. He made good contacts and got to know brewers who were already well-known. That's how he came across Enzo Frauenschuh from the Camba brewery, who would later give him and his project a home. Steger plans to work with artists and illustrators in the future to do justice to his concept, Art Brut, the spontaneous, raw art of amateurs.
