About
2011 haben Mario und Timm ihre Jobs gekündigt und in einer Hinterhof-WG im Münchner Glockenbachviertel ihre erste Heimbrauanlage aufgebaut. Für den Traum vom eigenen Bier tauschten sie Anzug und Krawatte gegen Latzhose und Gummistiefel.

Ihr Ziel: kreative und spannende Biere, die die langweilige deutsche Bierwelt revolutionieren. Ihr Umfeld: erklärte sie für verrückt. Doch nach monatelangem Feilen an der Rezeptur und unzähligen Probesuden war es so weit: das erste Bier der CREW Republic, das heutige »Foundation 11 – German Pale Ale«, war gelungen. Eine kleine Brauerei wurde gefunden, die die Experimente auf einer größeren Anlage fortführte. Mit den ersten Flaschen des frisch gebrauten Craft Bieres gab es nur ein Ziel: die Herzen der Münchener Biertrinker zu erobern. Stetig wuchs die Fan-Gemeinde von CREW Republic.

Doch dann ein neues Problem: zu wenig Bier und vertröstete Kunden. Eine eigene Brauerei musste her. Zwei Jahre Planung, dann konnte der Traum verwirklicht werden. Seit Mai 2015 steht die CREW Republic Brewery im Norden von München. Ab Sommer 2017 auch mit eigenem Craft Bier Garten und Tap Room.

CREW Republic steht für ehrliche, handwerklich gebraute und geschmacklich außergewöhnliche Biere. Mario und Timm sind immer auf der Suche nach neuen Rezepturen und den besten Rohstoffen der Welt. Ihre Mission: »Brewing Awesomeness.« Ihr Motto: »Craft Beer is not a Crime!«

Client brewer since 2023, own brewery closed.

Not sure about this trend of craft beer breweries brewing run of the mill beer styles. Very clear mid-yellow helles, head fizzing down to nothing in 30s. Nose is the usual earthy, grassy tones with a hint of apple. Mouth is the usual malt, overlayed with herbiness. It does have a nice slightly floral / apple tinge, but it loses its character in the finish. A good example of the style. The goal of all the Bavarian breweries seems to be an extremely narrow flavour profile and this fits in with that.

Just getting round to reviewing some old regulars. Just to counterpoint the last reviewer: the bottle is boring, as is typical in Germany even for craft beer. Pours to a thick black: only against a bright light can any tones of brown / red be seen. Dark tan head reduces down to 3mm within 2 minutes, fine pored, lacing. The nose is a bit of an underachiever, not that dominant. Hints of coffee, chocolate, dark malt, leather. In the mouth very present: up front liquorice, slight sweetness, hit of alcohol. Mid range the bitterness starts to come through on the roof of the mouth, sweet coffee, dark chocolate, more liquorice, cola. Lingering coffee and hop notes on the finish. Very boozy. Smooth and well rounded in total. Bit too bitter in finish, slightly puckering. Not a classic stout, not bad, but not weltbewegend.
