About Schwarz Mönch
It all started with a name. Back in 2008 when I bought the Pension it struck me that the mountain opposite us - the Schwarzmönch, had the perfect name for a dark lager, especially if you separated the names to feature the Mönch who is so connected with brewing.
We were aware that the valley had belonged to the monastery in Interlaken and years ago the Monks would probably have brewed all their own bier and this would almost certainly have been a Schwarzbier, the popular traditional bier of the time. With this in mind we set out to produce a true Schwarzbier, a lager rather than a stout or ale, but one with our own distinctive taste.
