Description
Brewery in Elmshorn closed in december 2024. Owner moved from Elmshorn to Krefeld, bought the former brewery of "Third Sector Brewing" and started brewing his beers there in early 2026.

Former address:
Langelohe 65A, 25337 Elmshorn.

The story starts on a kitchen stove in a flat on Balduinstr, metres from the Elbe river in St Pauli. Fast forward six years and after a gentle enthusiastic push from the owners of Alles elbe, a brew pub across the Reeperbahn, Simian Ales now has a microbrewery and taproom in Elmshorn, outside Hamburg.

With a core range of beers such as a North German Pilsner, modern American style IPA, Red Ale and table beer, and collaborations with breweries including Fanø Bryghus (Denmark), Ratsherrn & Bunthaus (Hamburg), Simian is being found in more and more cities across Germany and continental Europe.

0,33 l bottle from Craft Beer Store, Hamburg. A lot of pressure in the bottle. Unclear golden in the glass, nearly three finger white head. Sweet fruity hop smell. Taste starts with a dry malty bitterness. Less fruity. Some straw and pale grain. Maybe some diacetyl. Okay, but nothin´ more.
