BRLO values

We combine the best quality, responsibility and Berlin's attitude to life in a stylish way to create a unique beer and brand experience.

BERLIN

Berlin, our home, has an immistakeable edge — intense, lively and self-confident—just like us.

QUALITY

Quality as a standard is the basis for our sustainable and long-term success. We are demanding and dynamic, and want to be the leader of our competition.

RESPONSIBILITY

For our environment, employees, partners, customers and guests. We are socially committed, stand up for equality and tolerance and are both honest and fair.

HEARTINESS

Our customers and guests are looked after with a personal, professional, and reliable attitude. This is how we create a special kind of beer and brand experience.

COURAGE AND PASSION

We are not afraid of making mistakes and are constantly evolving. We love our beer and work every day to push our mission forward.

_CO2 Footprint

As a small company, we care a lot about making our processes sustainable and using our raw materials as efficiently as possible. In 2021, we started to calculate our_CO2 footprint with the Klimatech start-up Planetly, determine measures for reduction and then offset them via selected climate protection projects. Unfortunately, Planetly was surprisingly shut down from one day to the next at the end of November 2022, and with it our access to the established calculation processes (which can't really be automated yet for a manufacturing company) and data. This showed us how vulnerable the system of such_{CO2 start-ups} is, all working with their own "climate seals". Currently, we are in the process of regrouping here, learning about possible new partners* and approaches, and planning next steps. We will therefore no longer carry the "climate neutral production" seal with immediate effect, but bottles with the Planetly logo will probably still be on sale for a few months. Our goal is still to measure our footprint accurately and to derive measures for medium- and long-term reduction step by step. We will inform you here about further steps!

All beginnings are difficult

We know that there are still many things we can improve to make our_CO2 emissions, energy balance and use of resources even more sustainable. However, it is important for us to start the process and grow with our challenges in the coming years.

Equalisation

In 2021, we recalculated our emissions for 2020 and based on that, calculated an estimate of emissions for 2021 that we offset. In total, our_CO2 emissions amount to 2,935t_CO2.

BRLO BREWERY CONCEPT

Diversity

With our beers, we bring the Berlin joie de vivre in liquid from directly into the bottle, the can and the keg. It is important to us that our beers are brewed in a modern and artisanal way. We are inspired by both local and international beer styles.

ORIGIN & QUALITY

During production, we rely on small, properly inspected quantities and production almost without filtration in order to preserve important and healthy nutrients. What goes into the brewing kettle is carefully selected by our brewmasters. Whether it's beer or our BIO certified cider, we rely on organic malts and malting barley, as well as regional and organic ingredients. Responsible and sustainable use of our raw materials also includes the selection of our suppliers and partners.

STATE OF THE ART BREWING

At our two brewery locations in Berlin Kreuzberg and Spandau, we have a total brewing capacity of just over 30,000 hectolitres. In addition, our brewery in Spandau is organically certified and has a tunnel pasteuriser. While in Kreuzberg we focus mainly on experimental BRLO specialities and on supplying our own beergarden, in Spandau we are working on our own bottling, canning and kegging in order to be able to offer BRLO beyond the state border.

BRLO GASTRONOMIC CONCEPT

Brewhouse cuisine 2.0: With us, vegetables are the star and regional meat at most the garnish. With our BIER x FOOD pairing, we combine our individual beer styles with creative dishes that are best shared and enjoyed together.

GOODBYE BRAUHAUS. HELLO BRWHOUSE.

With our BRLO gastronomy we are rethinking traditional brewery kitchens and transforming classical concepts into the 21st century. On our menu, vegetables in all shapes and forms are the star cast - fermented, pickled, smoked or sometimes even cooked in a salt crust. Together with regional meats as the side dish, we round off our own interpretation of beer gastronomy.

BEER x FOOD PAIRING

We take beer & food pairing to a whole new level: All dishes are matched to the aromatic variety of BRLO beers and perfect flavor combinations are created from vegetables and our diverse creations from the brew kettle. When have you ever tasted a Berliner Weisse in its natural form and then combined with apples in all aggregate states before? And so that you can try as much as possible with family and friends, everything comes with sharing plates.

REGIONALITY

As with beer, we pay great attention to the right choice of ingredients in the restaurants and are committed to supporting local producers from the region. Therefore, our menu changes several times a year and always adapts to the current season.

EAT ME, I'M FAMOUS

Allow us to brag for a second. We are very proud that our restaurants have already received numerous awards for their unmistakable style and unique menu creations. Among other things, the BRLO Brwhouse received the FIZZ Award for the best beer concept and is the only brewery that has been listed in Gault & Millau every year since 2018.
