To stand behind the steaming kettles and brew a beer that exactly matches your own ideas and taste preferences - this dream, which many passionate beer drinkers certainly have, has been fulfilled by three guys from Mainz. 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

Craft breweries usually arise from the passion and enthusiasm of young home brewers who meet at some point in their careers, like each other and decide to work together. The best friendships have already been formed. But it is even better when the brewers are already friends before they even become brewers. This is what happened with the three Simons behind the Mainz label Schwarze Rose. Before the brewery existed, the name of the shared flat that the three guys lived in together. If you've lived together, you can work together! Simon, Simon and Simon have always enjoyed drinking beer together and have drastically expanded their repertoire of favourite beers and beer styles with the beginnings of the craft beer movement in and around Germany. At some point the time had come: the guys had tested enough beers to finally get behind the kettle themselves. Before they could make their business official, they still had to brew a few good and not so good brews, but the start had been made. Then, in spring 2019, the big moment came: the brews were perfect, the recipes were refined, and the three Simons were ready to test their beers on a large brewing system. They rented space from a local brewery and from then on became Gypsybrewers.

Beer with character

But Simon, Simon and Simon don't just brew beers. They have made it their mission to brew beers with character. There are beers that you drink in a few quick gulps after work or because you're simply thirsty. The beers from the Black Rose are meant to be enjoyed with a little more attention. In Germany in particular, beer is much more than a drink; it is part of our culture and bears a centuries-old tradition. The Black Rose builds on this rich heritage and creates beers in small batches, using traditional methods and 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 to be involved in the other production processes. The recipe is of course theirs, but the guys also have a hand in the concept and design. Everything is homemade, and the Mainz-based company is proud of that.

Brewtiful and Vertigo are the first to start - we are excited to see what else awaits us from Schwarze Rose!
