GEHÖLZ BRÆU is a craft brewery based in Leipzig, in the German federal state of Saxony. Founded by Rico and Matze, two innovators coming from very different professional backgrounds, the brewery was built around a shared vision: brewing beer without nonsense. Their philosophy is straightforward and honest — quality ingredients, no unnecessary additives, and a clear focus on the craft itself. The brewery's portfolio reflects their commitment to clean, unpretentious brewing. One of their notable beers is the Buche Bio-Helles, a certified organic Pilsner brewed in the German tradition with an ABV of 4.9%. The name "Gehölz" — meaning grove or woodland in German — hints at a connection to nature, which aligns with their use of organic ingredients. Their beers sit within classic German lager and Pilsner styles, brought to life with a modern craft sensibility. GEHÖLZ BRÆU has built a following among craft beer enthusiasts both locally in Leipzig and through German specialty beer retailers such as Die Bierothek. Their beers are tracked and reviewed on platforms like Untappd, where the brewery continues to grow its community of followers appreciating their no-frills approach to traditional German brewing.
