Craftwerk Brewing

Craftwerk Brewing is the research and development department of the Bitburger private brewery. Here, everything is experimented, tried, rejected and developed to make Bitburger's wide range of products even more creative and versatile. With traditional values and consistently high quality standards, the brewers go to work and create new beer creations.

With expertise to perfection

For the people behind Craftwerk, beer is not just an alcoholic beverage. Beer is a cultural asset worth protecting, a multi-layered composition of enjoyment, a way of life. The brewers want to pass on their love of beer with a lot of passion and enthusiasm. Of course, the best way to do this is with excellent, exceptional beers. Brewing such beers is Craftwerk's goal and their mission, which they take very seriously. Their award-winning creations are complex works of art that speak of centuries of brewing experience and hand-picked ingredients. In compliance with the Purity Law, the brewers challenge traditions and test the limits of old beer styles. New recipes are tested and brewed until the perfect end product is achieved.

The glass makes it

As true beer experts, the professionals at Bitburger not only know how to brew good beer, but also how to bring out the best in this beer. The right beer glass not only plays a role in the visual effect, it also affects the taste of the brew. What is a given with wine is still practiced far too rarely with beer. Nobody drinks red wine from a narrow white wine glass or even from a champagne flute, and with beer it is almost irrelevant to most people which glass it is poured into, if it even makes it into the glass. Too often people just drink straight from the bottle and lose valuable flavor levels that are not even brought out by sipping from the bottle. The right glass is essential, especially for craft beer with its multi-layered, complex flavor worlds. You wouldn't believe it, but an IPA, for example, actually tastes very different from different glasses. The shape of the glass, the diameter of the rim and the strength all play a key role in the taste of a beer.

The Craftwerk Ale glass is the perfect companion for light ales.
