Standing behind the steaming kettles yourself and brewing a beer that exactly matches your own ideas and taste preferences - three boys from Mainz have fulfilled this dream, which many passionate beer drinkers certainly have. With a great desire to experiment and a lot of passion, the three create works of art from hops, malt and yeast that invite you to enjoy.
Friends for life
As a rule, craft breweries arise from the passion and enthusiasm of young home brewers who meet at some point in their careers, find a likeability and decide to work together. The best friendships have already been formed. However, it's even nicer when the brewers are friends before they even become brewers. This is what happened to the three Simons behind the Mainz label Schwarze Rose. Before it existed, the name of the brewery was the title of the shared apartment that the three boys lived together. Anyone who has lived together can also work together! Simon, Simon and Simon have always enjoyed drinking beer together and have drastically expanded their repertoire of favorite beers and beer styles with the beginning of the craft beer movement in and around Germany. At some point the time had come: the boys had tested enough beers to finally get behind the kettle themselves. Before they could make their business official, one or two good and not so good brews still had to be brewed, but a start had been made. The big moment came in spring 2019: the brews were perfect, the recipes were sophisticated and the three Simons were ready to test their beers on a large brewing system. They rented space at a local brewery and became gypsy brewers from then on.
Beer with character
But Simon, Simon and Simon don't just brew beers. Their mission is to brew beers with character. There are beers that you drink in a few quick sips at the end of the day or because you are simply thirsty. The beers from the Black Rose should be enjoyed with a little more attention. Especially in Germany, beer is much more than a drink, it is part of our culture and a carrier of centuries-old traditions. The Black Rose builds on this rich heritage and creates craft beers in small quantities that are characterized by their sophisticated flavor nuances. None of the beers are filtered, all are brewed with care and the best hand-picked ingredients by the Kuehn Kunz Rosen brewery. It is important to the Simons to accompany all steps of the brewing process and also to be involved in the other production processes. The recipe was of course their own, but the boys also had a hand in the concept and design. Everything is home-made, something the people of Mainz are proud of.
Brewtiful and Vertigo are the beginning - we're excited to see what else awaits us from the house of Schwarze Rose!
