Even though the beer market in Germany has only been really varied and diverse for a few years, it is still a tough place. Hardly any other country is home to as many long-established breweries as Germany and nowhere else are beer drinkers as picky and spoiled. There used to be countless regions where every village, no matter how small, had its own brewery and the beer scene was saturated with classic, down-to-earth beer from craft breweries. Pretty perfect, actually, but it was a tough start for the young craft brewers who mushroomed as the craft beer wave swept across the United States. Mario and Timm from Munich were also among the initially unemployed artists among the brewers.
Today the two are proud bosses of CREW Republic Brewery, but that wasn't always the case. When the two enthusiastic home brewers decided to quit their jobs in 2011, they initially encountered a lot of resistance. Even though the German beer scene seemed boring and monotonous to them, the beer lovers were not as open and welcoming as they would have liked. And even in the immediate circle of family and friends there was initially little trust in the project: Hardly anyone thought it was a good idea that the two wanted to swap their well-paid jobs for the mash paddle. But Timm and Mario weren't impressed by that. Nor about any difficulties with her landlord. Instead of giving up, they found solutions and ended up renting space at a friendly brewery in order to brew their first commercial brews using their brewing system. Foundation 11 was the debut and laid the foundation for today's brewery.
As cuckoo brewers in the holy halls of their friends, the dynamic duo brewed the second brew called Drunken Sailor and, after a bumpy initial phase, increasingly won the hearts of the Munich beer community. However, with increasing success came new challenges. As guests in an established brewery, the young brewers only had a certain capacity available, which they soon threatened to exceed. We had to have our own brewery! Four years after the opening, the time had come: Timm and Mario had made their dream come true. Their enthusiasm and tireless pursuit of their own brewery accompanied them on their rocky path to their own brewing system and gave them the energy to climb every peak, no matter how high. Today, CREW Republic brews the finest beers with passion, attention to detail and hand-picked raw materials, which you can taste here with us!
