Freigeist Bierkultur

Stolberg, Nordrhein-Westfalen - Germany

Freigeist is the experimental offshoot of Cologne's revolutionary small brewery, Braustelle. Brewers Peter Esser and Sebastian Sauer strive to break the shackles of the modern brewing industry by reviving and updating Germany's unique historical beer styles, many of which disappeared just a few decades ago. At a time when the global beer revolution seemed to have passed Germany by, Freigeist's edgy, challenging, yet balanced and drinkable interpretations helped re-establish the country as a major brewing force.
