The Rise of the Nano Breweries!
While the above title might be reminiscent of bad sci-fi movies or sound like something straight out of a quantum physics lab, neither interpretation is right. Nano breweries are the newest trend in the craft brew world, and are going to be a force to contend with in coming years. So, what the heck is a nano brewery and why should it matter to you?
The Growing Green Brewery Movement - Kona Brewing
The "green" movement has been seen everywhere, and the beer industry is no exception. There are several notable breweries with green initiatives that have garnered attention already, such as the solar power system being used by Sierra Nevada and MillerCoors. However, there is one company that seems bent on being as green as possible - Kona Brewing Company on the Big Island of Hawaii. While Kona might be headquartered in paradise, that doesn't mean that the company isn't taking steps to keep the world as clean and green as possible.
The brewing nun of Mallersdorf
The German daily newspaper FAZ writes about a nun who is brewing beer at the monastery Mallersdorf, Germany. She is one of the few women entitle to bear the title head brewer. As someone could imagine that woman in brewing are very rare you are probably able to count the female head brewers on both hands.
The micro brewery offers a range of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. The beer is sold in clip clop bottles as far as I know. On the website of the “Mallersdorfer Klosterbräu” you can check their stockists.
Nanobrauereien - eine Begriffsdefinition
Nach dem in Amerika der Begriff "Nanobreweries" aufkam ist es nun an der Zeit den Begriff einzudeutschen. Der Begriff Mikrobrauerei ist uns ja schon bekannt, leiten wir den der Nanobrauerei davon ab. Ein Mikrobrauerei ist eine Kleinstbrauerei, Ausstoß < 5000hl / Jahr, die in Teil/Vollzeit betrieben wird.
Demnach produzieren Nanobrauerei ein paar in Handarbeit hergestellte Bier. Diese werden an ein paar Wochenenden im Jahr gebraut und in ortsansässige Gastwirtschaften und Kneipen ausgeschenkt. Nanobrauereien legen meist kein Wert darauf sich zu vergrößern. Gebraut wird aus Spaß an der Freude und das Bier wird mit Freunden und Nachbarn getrunken.
Nanobrauereien freuen sich gerade in Amerika einer großen Fangemeinde. Eine Liste der amerikanischen Nanobrauereien steht zur Verfügung.
