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.

Neftenbach, Zürich, Switzerland
Nachdem wir seit 2019 für vier Jahre zu Hause in unserem Keller jährlich ca. 150 hl Craftbier produziert haben, wagten wir einen grossen Schritt. Wir haben uns in der heimeligen Lokalität an der Karl-Bügler-Strasse 3 in Neftenbach eingemietet und eine in eine neue 10 hl Brauanlage investiert. Wir haben ein Lagertankvolumen von rund 120 hl und können Jährlich bis maximal 1500 hl produzieren. Dies sind jedoch noch Zukunftsträume. Wir skalieren die Produktion nur langsam hoch, um unsere Ressourcen zu schonen. Da wir den ganze Umbau und Innenausbau der Brauerei inklusive Taproom selber gemacht haben, brauchen wir nach 15 Monaten harter Arbeit wieder mehr Zeit für uns und für die Familie. In ferner Zukunft sehen wir auf jeden Fall das Potenzial, einmal von der Brauerei leben zu können. Heute ist der 28.8.2024, ca. 9 Monate nach der Eröffnung des Taprooms. Ich werde zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt hier den weiteren Verlauf unserer Geschichte updaten. Wir freuen uns über deinen Besuch bei uns im Taproom, jeweils am Donnerstag und Freitag von 19:00 Uhr bis 23:00 Uhr oder ab und zu Samstags zu einem Livekonzert (siehe Events auf unserer website: www.hopfenfisch.ch) Grüsse vom Inhaber und Brauer und meiner Frau die tatkräftig mithilft.
