Brewery Splügen

Speluca brewery, hotel and restaurant in Splügen

A brewery. A "Genusshotel" with a beer parlour. Beer made from clear water of the Swiss Stockenawald spring: that's what we call SPELUCA.

The SPELUCA brewery opened in winter 2024 in a place that has always been open to new ideas: Splügen in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. Splügen was first mentioned in a document in 831 – as “Speluca”. In the Middle Ages, muleteers travelled through the mountain pass and traded extensively. Today, the modern “Schäumer” have settled here to mix a beer with this special Splügen spirit. The most important ingredient – alongside the best Swiss mountain water, hops and malt – is the right amount of cosmopolitanism. Our beers contain Czech expertise, Austrian joie de vivre and Swiss perfection and, of course, the many years of experience of our well-travelled German master brewer Tobias Palmer.

The purest delight from Splügen

In the cradle of Swiss Alps, at 1457 metres above sea level, not far from the Italian border, lies a Swiss Walser village of Splügen. Now, people come here "for a good beer".

SPELUCA beer from the Swiss mountains

We believe that every beer brewed in SPELUCA has personality – and we take this literally. Each beer is given a carefully chosen face depicted by a real character on its label – from Bon Vivant to Frohnatur to Sportskanone. Despite their unique features, they all have one thing in common: lots of delicious flavour. So – which beer type are you?

Grand Tourer

A dynamic character, always on the move and yet in perfect balance. A sparkling blend of grounded sovereignty and free-spirited character. Natural and unfiltered, with a golden heart and a refreshing flavour. Open to every way of enjoying life. Grand Tourer really gets going in good company.

Ingredients: spring water, barley malt, hops, yeast

Bohemian Lager

Original wort: 10 %

unpasteurised beer with a higher hop content

Alcohol content: max. 4 vol %

Sweet with a distinctive hop flavour

Available in 0.3 and 0.5 litres

Bon Vivant

A character of the world, delightfully non-conformist, but with casual nonchalance. Always in favour of the finer things, but also up for a bit of fun. Bon Vivant radiates a sparkling coolness, but always retains the mischievous charm of an outdoorsman. Cosmopolitan, tasteful and full of joie de vivre. A hedonistic, yet refreshingly easy-going guy who is always a pleasure to socialise with.

Ingredients: spring water, barley malt, hops, yeast

Kellerbier

Pale, top-fermented beer, naturally cloudy and unpasteurised

Available in 0.3 and 0.5 litres

Light golden yellow colour

Balanced and slightly fruity flavour

Pschuuri Braut

A decidedly tart character, but with sweet notes on the inside. Although it mainly shows its dark face, it conceals a complex character that is deeply rooted in Splügen culture. She is decidedly opaque, with a striking body, but is tastefully attractive. Anyone who likes dark types will love her.

Ingredients: spring water, barley malt, roasted barley malt, rye malt, oats, hops, yeast

Stout

Original wort: 13 %

Dark, top-fermented and unpasteurised stout beer

Available in 0.3 and 0.5 litres

Alcohol content: approx. 5 to 7 vol %

Malty and tart flavour, with coffee & roasted aromas

Froh Natur

A fun-loving character who always knows exactly what he wants. Above all, this cheerful character stands for full-bodied enjoyment. With a Bavarian zest for life in her heart and Swiss charm in her character, she has the right mix for sociable and entertaining evenings in a mountain hut. Just the kind of person you can have a really good time with.

Ingredients: spring water, wheat and barley malt, hops, yeast

Hefeweizen

Original wort: 11 - 14 %

Straw-yellow, top-fermented beer with at least 50% wheat malt content

Available in 0.5 litres

Alcohol content: 5 vol %

Full-bodied flavour with classic banana aromas, nutmeg

Sportskanone

A young, lively character who is really outgoing and likes to go out into the world. A real free spirit, full of lightness of character and always refreshingly honest. With a slender body and natural charm that never goes to his head. Uncomplicated, lively and full of exuberant joie de vivre.

Ingredients: Spring water, barley malt, roasted barley malt, wheat malt, hops, yeast

Alcohol-free beer

When Bread becomes Beer

Something special has come to life in our brewery: Brewmaster Tobias and baker Roger have crafted the seasonal beer «Il Panettista» together. For this brew, 65 kilograms of leftover bread from our own bakery were used, resulting in around 1,800 litres of beer. By incorporating the bread, the proportion of brewing malt was reduced by about 15 percent.

The bread beer “Il Panettista” is a top-fermented, naturally cloudy beer, characterized by a subtle sour, citrusy note and a delicate hint of salt from the addition of bread and lye pastries. It is a lively, refreshing beer with low bitterness and a dry finish.

Brewed from Pilsner malt, Carapils malt, hops, top-fermenting yeast, and various types of bread containing rye, wheat, and lye pastries (salt), this creates a specialty top-fermented beer with 5.0% ABV.

Available in the SPELUCA shop and restaurant.
