What is hidden behind the name of the brewery seems unspectacular at first. The pleasure-oriented beer fan should not be deceived by this appearance. You will hardly find a bitter, Nordic pilsner at the Rügen brewery, but rather the Insel brewery around master brewer Markus Berberich focuses on "rare beers". Since August 2015, twelve different brewing styles have been created from natural hops, special malts and Rügen island water, eight of which were awarded gold at the World Beer Award 2016 in London. One can philosophize about where the key to success lies. Is it the elaborately coated bottles with stylishly decorated labels? Or bottle fermentation, which makes the beer more aromatic and long-lasting? But maybe it's also the ingredients that come from the USA, Belgium, the Netherlands and Japan and have been refined with the flair of Germany's largest island? The interplay of all these factors makes at least each of the products unique that conjures up that holiday feeling right in your home.
