Seelandbräu
In 1999, after a break of almost 100 years, a brewery was once again opened in Seeland. The founder and owner of Seeland Bräu is Hansruedi Suter.
The brewery is located in the bistro of the associated Swiss Hostels Lago Lodge and is also open to visitors.
Beer is brewed more than 100 times a year in the attractive 10 hectolitre brewhouse directly behind the bar. The Seeland Bräu beers are approved by Bio Suisse and are made in an environment-friendly way using solar-heated water and electricity generated by panels on the roof.
