Schnoor Bräu Is Introduced at Bremen’s Kleiner Olymp

In 1999, the Kleiner Olymp restaurant in Bremen’s Schnoor quarter introduced Schnoor Bräu as its house beer. The dark beer grew from an idea developed during the 1990s to create a beer for the restaurant, the surrounding neighborhood, and Bremen. Initially served on draft, it was subsequently offered in 0.33-liter longneck bottles and sold through retailers in Bremen and the nearby area. Schnoor Bräu’s local identity centers on its connection to the restaurant and the Schnoor. Its product website identifies the later bottled beer as a special bottling from the Herbsthäuser brewery in Bad Mergentheim-Herbsthausen. The Bremen introduction thus concerns a locally rooted beer brand, rather than the opening of a brewery inside the Kleiner Olymp.
