Sargans, St. Gallen, Switzerland
Was mit einem, nach unserem Belgien Urlaub, stärker werdenden Bier-Enthusiasmus begann, sich durch einen Bierblog fortsetze, gipfelte in unserer eigenen kleinst Brauerei! Je mehr Stunden in die unterschiedlichsten Themen rund ums Bier flossen, desto stärker wurde der Drang selbst Hand anzulegen. Den Prozess, von A bis Z miterleben und seiner Kreativität freien lauf zu lassen. Was bisher in hingebungsvoller Handarbeit in unserer Wohnung entstand, entsteht seit Januar 2018 in der Militärküche (Untergasse 9) in Sargans. Durch den Umzug in die Militärküche wurden Abläufe um ein vielfaches einfacher und alles ist nun an einem Ort. Für die Auswahl der verwendeten Rohstoffe gehen wir keinerlei Kompromisse ein. Es werden ausschliesslich die Besten Zutaten verwendet um die best möglichste Bierqualität zu erreichen. Da es uns primär darum geht die verschiedensten Bierstile auszuprobieren und dabei noch mehr über jeden Stil zu lernen, entstand die Limited Serie. Dabei werden jeweils zur Saison passende, mit regionalen Zutaten verfeinerte, Biere gebraut welche jeweils einmalig erhältlich sind. Die Limited Serie ist jeweils auf 140 – 200 Flaschen limitiert. Jede Serie wird sich bezüglich Alkoholgehalt, Farbe, Geschmack und verwendeter Rohstoffe vom vorherigen unterscheiden. Folgt uns auf unserer Reise durch die riesige Vielfalt der Bierwelt.

Zürich, Switzerland
«Tingel» originally meant a travelling performer, someone who moved through the provinces and played wherever there was a stage. «Tingel Tangel» later came to stand for the small, independent venue, set apart from the big commercial theatres and touring circuses. That's roughly where we sit too, and more literally than most: we're a gypsy brewery, with no place of our own, brewing wherever we find good people and good kit. At the moment that's mainly with our friends at Thun Bier. What we do is hop forward IPAs. Every brew is a new beer, but always the same pursuit, learning from the last batch and carrying it into the next: a different hop, a sharper ratio, a cleaner expression of aroma. It's less about settling on one recipe than about refining the craft itself over time, closer in spirit to the Japanese idea of perfecting a single discipline batch by batch. The tradition behind the name runs older than the beer. In 1600, one of our ancestors opened the brew pub «Zum Weissen Rössle» (To the White Little Horse) in Kempten, Southern Bavaria. The horse on our logo and cans is our nod to those roots.
