Felsenbergbräu

Regionality is a term that has been used with increasing frequency since the 1990s. In light of the climate crisis and dwindling resources, we are more aware of our responsibility to the environment than ever before. We avoid plastic as much as possible, pack our lunches in lunchboxes instead of aluminum foil, use jute bags, cycle to work, fly less often for vacations, grow our own vegetables in raised beds and on balconies, buy clothes secondhand, shop at zero-waste stores, and value seasonal and local products. Companies have also jumped on the bandwagon – breweries, above all. One brewery that takes this principle particularly to heart is Felsenbergbräu from Schwieberdingen.

Beer as a regional staple

The brilliant minds behind Felsenbergbräu are brothers Marvin and Tobias Velte. Both have always enjoyed beer and harbored a passion for the intricacies and technical aspects of the brewing process. In 2020, they finally decided to turn their curiosity into reality. They established their own brewery, laying the foundation for what is now a thriving business. Their idea is a clever combination of two concepts: Tobias and Marvin want to revive the millennia-old brewing tradition of their homeland while simultaneously making an active contribution to the economic life of their region. Their brewery is the perfect symbiosis. With great respect and appreciation for the craftsmanship of the past, the dynamic duo creates brews that meet the demands of modern beer connoisseurs. Each brew tells a story. Regionality plays a role in many ways. Firstly, as many raw materials as possible are sourced from the immediate region. Secondly, Felsenbergbräu employs local people and, with its specialty beers, is an integral part of the social life in and around Schwieberdingen. The team organizes events and provides a space for the residents of Schwieberdingen and their guests to get together for a beer or two.

Felsenbergbräu's product range reflects the region's rich beer culture: the down-to-earth creations build upon traditional brewing craftsmanship and bring these roots into the present using state-of-the-art technology. Brews like the Helles and the Hefeweizen appeal to a wide range of beer lovers and also pair perfectly with Baden-Württemberg cuisine.
