Ullr Bier - Swiss Craft Beer Legacy

The Craft Beer Legacy

This craft beer project was dedicated to growing the world of delicious, honest beer using quality raw ingredients and recipes that were balanced, yet rich in character. Every beer was carefully produced in small batches, normally 250 liters per brew day, and then packaged completely by hand.

The primary goal was to offer approximately five beers that were always available. These beers covered a range of styles to suit most "moods" - interesting, yet very drinkable beers you could always count on.

Occasionally, the brewery would venture into experimental territory, creating something perfect for the season or in response to customer requests. Being a small, independent operation allowed for a focus on producing distinctive, quality beers without compromise.

Beer Portfolio

This collection featured these distinctive beer styles, each with its own character and story:

Hoppy Blonde

Description

A Blonde Lager single hopped with Nelson Sauvin. A touch of Wheat Malt gave it a smooth body that balanced citrus, white wine and tropical flavors of this unique hop.

Character

An anytime, anywhere, anyone beer that played nice all around - the perfect choice when you weren't sure what mood you were in.

California Common

Description

Hybrid beer style using a unique lager yeast that fermented at ale-like temps. Northern Brewer hops added a minty buzz and fruity aroma that balanced subtle caramel malt flavor.

Character

A versatile, approachable beer suitable for any occasion - an easy-going companion for life's moments.

Citrus Haze Pale Ale

Description

A clean, crisp and citrusy pale ale fermented with Norwegian Kveik yeast. Oat Flakes and Wheat Malt bonded fruity hop flavors together in a light, hazy blanket.

Character

Very close to an IPA, but with less aggressive hop bitterness. It paired well with many foods and brought out sweet elements of savory dishes.

Oatmeal Stout

Description

An Oatmeal Stout with a tiny twist. This medium-bodied beer was slightly hoppier than normal, which brightened the chocolate and coffee-like malt flavors making it very smooth and drinkable.

Character

Good all year long but especially nice in cooler months. Paired well with rich meals like roasted meats and veggies, burgers, BBQ, sharp cheeses and even cheesecake.

Belgian Quadrupel

Description

Strong Belgian style beer with intense flavors of plums and malt sweetness. The smooth mouthfeel and warming character made this beer perfect for winter.

Character

The "before or after" beer - great before dinner or after dinner. Best enjoyed slightly warmed and poured into a rounded glass with a friend.

Swiss Craft Beer Heritage

This project represented a fusion of American craft brewing traditions with Swiss precision and quality. The recipes celebrated the spirit of adventure that exemplifies modern craft brewing.

Based in the picturesque town of Einsiedeln, Switzerland, these beers embodied the meeting of Swiss precision with American craft brewing innovation. The mission was to produce a range of beers with varying intensity levels to meet a variety of tastes and preferences, with balance always being the highest priority.

Switzerland has a rich brewing tradition dating back centuries, with the craft beer scene experiencing remarkable growth in recent years. Small-batch microbreweries like this one represent a movement toward quality, locally-produced beer with character and connection to place.

The Craft of Beer Making

Brewing Philosophy

The art of craft brewing is about passion for flavor, quality ingredients, and a respect for tradition while embracing innovation. Every beer tells a story of its ingredients, its brewing process, and the culture that inspired it.

Small Batch Approach

Small-batch brewing allows for greater attention to detail, more experimentation, and a deeper connection between the brewer and the beer. This approach values quality over quantity, character over conformity.
