SWISS BEER

With an Italian heart

Brauerei Basel- Fermento Brewery

Helvetic beer

We are pleased to announce that our Fermento beers “Mistral” and “Ventuno” from our brewery in Basel have been awarded the gold medal at the Frankfurt International Trophy, a beer competition.

For us, this is a very important recognition of the quality and taste of our Swiss beers.

We assure you that we always brew at the highest level.

Two beers, two medals, one heart

The Swiss beer
with the Italian heart

Switzerland and Italy. On one side, quality and capabilities, to make things to perfection. On the other side, heart and passion.

This is the way I grew up and that’s what is contained in Fermento beers: simple ingredients that are combined wisely to make great beers, to drink alone or with great food.

That means balance for us.

Craft beer in Switzerland
Brewed with Swiss precision

Unique beer. Fermento Brewery beers are crafted in our small family brewery with a focus on unique flavors and intense aromas.

Taste the CRAFT!

Science. Fermento beers are brewed using the best science and the latest technology. In our beers we share 25 years of experience in fermentation.

That is why our name is FERMENTO

Our Signature. Our beers are produced through a careful selection and combination of ingredients. Our philosophy is to be able to taste every ingredient as you enjoy it.

That means BALANCED for us

Italian heart and passion
Great beers deserve great food

Italianità for us at Fermento simply means joy and passion: a long table around which family and friends sit, wonderful hours together, the pleasure of unique food and wonderful beers!

It is obvious to drink a beer with burgers, fish and chips, barbecue, pizza or Würst. At the same time, it is common to think of wine as a valid pairing choice with any other food.

Over the years, we have discovered that beer is a valid alternative and, in many circumstances, even superior to wine when paired with food.

We have selected Fermento Amber Ale for our customers as one of the 3 beers available in our drinks menu. Fermento Amber Ale is a modern red beer that is highly appreciated by our customers. They love its fine taste and the very pleasant aroma. Fabian Baumgartner – Chef de Bar @ George Bar & Grill

All Fermento beers are very balanced. The aromas of malt, hops and yeast are all present in the beer and harmonize beautifully with each other. We like to serve the Fermento beers as a refreshing aperitif, as well as a good alternative to wine, as they go perfectly with a variety of dishes that we create for our guests, or as a nice end to the meal as a “nightcap”

Felix Suter . Chef @ Restaurant Schlüssel

Excellent craft beers, each with a unique taste. Good for an Apéro, in combination with food or just to chill out. My favorites are the Amber Ale and the Weizen, but all three are great and I’m really looking forward to new varieties in the future. The delivery service is also very efficient. I recommend them 100%.”

Sumire, Wädenswil

My Fermento year began with a soul child: the beautiful Bernstein. Strong-willed. A mature, balanced personality, crowned by a lively foam. Then a blonde came along. A sun-drenched spirit that chases away the winter chill with its golden hue and the promise of passionate Pilsner. A summer breeze blew through a refreshing wheat beer. Seductive in style, it surprises with an exotic Mediterranean mango flare. And then, as the fall nights drew in: a sumptuous stout. Hot cocoa bean. Hints of chocolate. A Swiss beer, a smoky ale that you can enjoy indoors in the warmth. Perfect on its own: better with cheese. Paired with praline – bravissimo!”
