The breweries displayed with a yellow background do not appear anymore on the list of the Federal Customs, yet seem to be still active. I will keep them for some time in the hope that they will regulate their situation.

Brewer: Urs Rüegg | The brewery has been founded in 1862 by the brothers Schmid et Johann Steiner at the same place it still stays nowadays. This family-owned enterprise has 35 employees and is led by the 5th generation of the german family Beck which own Baar since 1902. This brewery enjoys an impressive growth: 8'500 hl in 2005, then 9'500 in 2006, 12'000 in 2008, 13'500 in 2010, 15'723 in 2013, 20'000 in 2016 and 25'000 in 2020. Brews on a 70 hl installation. Offers average (at best) german traditionnal lager beers. Don't look for craft beer styles here.  Bachweg Brewing |  Founded in 2015 Seestrasse 15b | 6300 Zug

Has 2 employees and look for investors to get bigger. | Pretty weird yet decent beers. And be careful if you try to order online! They may ignore you some weeks and then finally send only a small part of the beers ordered. Like in my case… Eisbock |  Founded in 2017 Mühlegasse 18h | 6340 Baar
