Bierol GmbH.
In 2014, they were just good friends that experimented with hops, yeast and malt on a former Tyrolean farm. Today they are patriotic crossover artists, on-the-edge brewers obsessed with detail, and independence-loving creative minds.
They have won regional awards as well as Gault Millau trophies.
They are the absolute opposite of mainstream beer.
They are Bierol.
