Brewers & Union - Craft Beer Sixpack

OUR CRAFT BIER

WE DO THINGS VERY DIFFERENTLY. WE LIKE DOING IT THAT WAY AND WE HOPE THAT YOU’LL LIKE THE FRUITS OF OUR EFFORTS.

IN 2007, WE STARTED TO WORK HAND-IN-HAND WITH DIFFERENT BREWMASTERS FROM *SMALL, REGIONAL BAVARIAN FAMILY-RUN BREWERIES TO CREATE CRAFT LAGERS & ALES THAT WE ARE NOT ONLY PROUD TO PRODUCE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS, BUT LOVE TO DRINK OURSELVES.

WE ARE INDEPENDENT - WE ARE A TRIO OF A FATHER, A SON & HIS LONG TIME BUSINESS PARTNER & FRIEND. WE ONLY WORK WITH *SMALL BREWERIES THAT ARE FAMILY OWNED.

WE ARE SMALL - WE ONLY PARTNER WITH *SMALL REGIONAL BREWERIES THAT PRODUCE LESS THAN 120,000HL PER ANNUM.

WE ARE TRADITIONAL - THE OLDEST BREWERY WE WORK WITH IS ALMOST 500 YEARS OLD. THE YOUNGEST BREWERY WE WORK WITH IS 150 YEARS OLD. WE MAKE BIER THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY WITH ONLY BARLEY, YEAST, HOPS AND WATER.

YOU CAN’T RUSH CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND THAT’S WHY OUR TRADITIONAL BREWING PROCESSES TAKE UP TO 16 WEEKS.

WE BELIEVE IN THE QUALITY OF SMALL BATCHES AND NOT THE QUANTITIES OF MEGA-PRODUCTION. WE OBSESS ABOUT AROMA, FLAVOUR AND BALANCE, NOT ECONOMIES OF SCALE. OUR BIERS ARE UNFILTERED AND UNPASTEURISED, WHICH ALLOWS FOR A FULLER, RICHER TASTE AND SMOOTHER MOUTHFEEL.

WE DON’T BELIEVE WE CAN SINGLE-HANDEDLY CHANGE THE WORLD OF BEER AS IT EXISTS, BUT WITH A LITTLE RAW PASSION, BLIND OPTIMISM AND RECKLESS RESOLVE, WE CAN PERHAPS MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

WHY ‘MODERNIST?’

THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MODERNISM ARE RATIONALITY AND SIMPLICITY AND THE HONEST EXPRESSION OF THE NATURE OF MATERIALS AND THEIR QUALITY. WE LOVE AND FOLLOW THIS PHILOSOPHY.
