An event a whopping 13,000 years ago laid the foundation for an unusual brewery: the Laacher See volcano in the Eifel erupted in a violent eruption and shaped the landscape with immense natural force. The only relic of this time is the brewery's beer cellar, which is located 30 meters underground. 153 steps lead to the lowest storage and fermentation cellar in the world.
Environmental protection as a matter of the heart
A great connection to nature led the brewery team to be one of the first to completely convert their production to sustainable and ecological brewing in 2011. A comprehensive modernization of the brewing facilities and a conversion and new construction of the premises catapulted the brewery into the present in 2012 and is a significant step towards climate neutrality. Further measures to protect and preserve the environment include the use of regional raw materials, reducing material consumption, avoiding glass breakage and saving energy through smooth processes in processes such as bottling. All of these factors save energy. The final move towards 100% climate-neutral beer production was switching from ingredients from conventional farming to organic products. Energy efficiency and emissions reduction are still on the agenda and are pursued day after day through the use of the latest brewing technology and energy systems. However, since CO2 emissions cannot be completely prevented, the brewery offsets them directly, for example by supporting international climate protection projects.
Award-winning art of brewing from the Eifel
From Roman times to the 19th century, volcanic rock was mined in Mendig, the home of the Vulkan Brewery, to make millstones. The region's residents took advantage of the resulting quarries: thanks to a favorable combination of low temperatures and high humidity, the earthen cellars are ideal for fermentation and storage. The basalt chambers brought the city of Mendig a lot of attention and also made it known among brewers. There were once 28 breweries around the craters, but today only the Vulkan Brewery is still active. Thanks to high quality standards and extreme care when it comes to brewing crafts and the selection of regional raw materials from the Vulkaneifel, the brewery has been able to survive to this day. All beers are unfiltered and of the best organic quality: a natural taste experience of a special kind. The Vulkan brewery has already won numerous awards in the Eifel with its outstanding beers. In 2020, for example, the Bourbon Barrel Doppelbock won the “Germany’s Best Beer” category at the World Beer Awards. Her passion for good beer and dedication to nature conservation are the driving forces behind her daily work in the brewery. The team has managed the balancing act between stability and change like no other German brewery.
