Quöllfrisch

A taste of Appenzell life. Created by nature with natural Alpstein spring water. Cherished, stored and unfiltered. Full-flavoured, refreshing and yeasty. The naturally cloudy, original Quöllfrisch – according to ancient brewing traditions.

Since 1886 and for five generations, the Locher family have been brewing Appenzeller Bier. Our award-winning beers now include 40 different varieties. Fresh spring water, malted barley, hops and yeast are the foundation of what we create. Since 1999, the Säntis Malt Distillery has been producing fine single malt whiskies that have won several international awards. In the spirit of the traditional circular economy, we’ve added other delicious specialties based on by-products over the past three decades. Vinegar factory CréaCeto is creating exquisite beer balsamic vinegars. Thanks to our brewbee specialties, spent grain and other by-products from the brewing process get a second life as delicious and sustainable food products.
