10 Years 10 Beers

Ten years of Volta Bräu is definitely reason enough to party! We've rounded up the ten trendiest brewers in the region and are brewing collabs for you all year round. This means that every month we have a fresh batch of new beers straight from the tap.

Cheers!

September Tap

Remember this years EM match Switzerland vs Scotland? You might think this collab with Hard Labor resulted from one too many beers that evening. Well, it didn't, but we'll tell you the story anyway. A Baltic Porter brewed in a wooden barrel in which single malt whisky has been stored in Scotland and Switzerland for over 35 years. The result is a dark beer with chocolate notes, called Bowline.

August Tap

August is all about joyful, lively celebrations, or as we like to call it: Halli Galli. In the city, within us, and in the bottle! Together with the Birtel Brewery, we've crafted a beer inspired by this motto. It entices with a pleasant tartness, subtle mango aroma, and delightful freshness. With its low alcohol content, this mango sour beer can be enjoyed all evening and well into the night. Are you ready for some Halli Galli?

July Tap

Beer summer or summer beer? In this case, the latter! Although Pinky and the Grain is a classic wheat beer, it surprises you with strong banana aromas and a subtly raspberry note. When poured, the foamy head rises majestically in your glass and the first sip is certainly refreshing. This is your summer beer, thanks to our collab with Unser Bier!

A fruit bomb that awakens all your spirits. Beautifully unfiltered, reminiscent of hazy summer mornings by the lake, emerging from eclipse. And there we have it, the name of the collab with Blaue Ente. A NEIPA made for summer thanks to pleasant bitterness and soft taste. By the way, did you know that NEIPA stands for New England IPA?

Basel may be a small city, yet the most diverse worlds come together here. Combining Matt & Elly and Volta Bräu a unique collab is created. This special beer is characterized by a lot of body, plenty of alcohol and a citrusy note. Oh, and a particularly unusual name - namely Double Dry Hopped Red IPA. But don't worry, just remember: Luna Roja!

April Tap

Think of a process similar to winter slowly fading and spring casually arriving. Bottom fermentation works the same, you start at lower temperatures and gradually increase them to 18 degrees. The result is our 4th collab together with Stadtmauer Brauer. A Cold IPA with subtle fruitiness & slight bitterness.
