Craftwerk Brewing

Craftwerk Brewing is the research and development department of the Bitburger private brewery. Here we experiment, try, reject and develop whatever it takes to make Bitburger's wide range even more creative and versatile. With traditional values and consistently high quality standards, the brewers go to work and create new beer creations.

With expertise to perfection

For the people behind Craftwerk, beer is not just an alcoholic drink. Rather, beer is a cultural asset worthy of protection, a complex composition of enjoyment, an attitude to life. The brewers want to pass on their love of beer with a lot of passion and enthusiasm. Of course, this works best with excellent, exceptional beers. Brewing such is Craftwerk's goal and their mission, which they take very seriously. Their award-winning creations are complex works of art that speak of centuries of brewing experience and hand-picked ingredients. While adhering to the purity law, the brewers challenge traditions and test the limits of old beer styles. New recipes are tested and brewed until the perfect end product is achieved.

The glass does it

As true beer experts, the professionals at Bitburger not only know how to brew good beer, but also how to bring this beer to its best advantage. The right beer glass not only plays a role in the visual effect, it also has an impact on the taste of the brew. What is self-evident with wine is still far too rarely practiced with beer. Nobody drinks red wine from a narrow white wine glass or even from a champagne flute. When it comes to beer, most people almost don't care which glass it is poured into, if it even finds its way into the glass. Too often you simply drink straight from the bottle and lose valuable flavor layers that don't come into their own when you sip from the bottle. The right glass is particularly important for craft beer with its multi-layered, complex world of flavors. It's hard to believe, but an IPA, for example, actually tastes very different from different glasses. Glass shape, mouth rim diameter and strength play a significant role in the taste of a beer.

The Craftwerk Ale glass is the perfect companion for light ales.
