Brauhaus am See

There are some dreams that can be realized without a great deal of financial investment, almost overnight. Others, however, require money, time, and patience. Brewing lies somewhere between these two extremes: You can create your own brews in your own home with minimal equipment, but you need to be well-versed—or well-read—to produce enjoyable results. The barn and beer garden by the lake—at the Sohland reservoir—nurtured the dream of their own beer for a long time before, with a little help, they took the plunge.

An oasis on the lakeshore

Before the barley juice flowed from the brewhouse, a true feel-good place was created at the Sohland reservoir, where people could get married, feast, drink coffee, eat ice cream, barbecue, and celebrate. In the cozy barn with its adjoining idyllic beer garden, you can unwind and be truly pampered. In a picturesque location and lovingly designed ambiance, you can spend a wonderful day here and have a great time with friends and family. All that was missing for gastronomic happiness was your own beer, and that's where Markus Hahn and the European Union came in. With the help of an EU funding program, a small brewing system was purchased. The foundation stone was laid, and with Markus Hahn at his side, the adventure could begin. The master brewer steers the brewhouse and founded the Zippl beer family.

Delicious little things made from hops and malt

Zippl is a term used in Saxony for a fidgety child, a person with a lot of energy, or a trifle. At the Brauhaus am See, the entire beer family bears the name Zippl, and we suspect that this refers to the brewery's small beginnings. The brewery is still in its infancy, and the Zippl beers are its offspring, which they proudly send out into the world. The small Zippl family includes hand-crafted beers, produced with heart and skill by Markus Hahn. The range includes classics like Zippl Pils , but also modern styles like Zippl IPA and a fine red lager. All brews are served in the beer garden and in the guest room. And if you'd like to take a closer look at the brewing process, you can pay a visit to the brewhouse as part of a brewery tour and watch Markus at work.

The Brauhaus am See is a friendly little brewery that brews wonderful, down-to-earth beer with great care and an eye for quality and taste.
