When a hobby becomes a career
Eppan on the South Tyrolean Wine Road: A city blessed with a good climate; row after row of grapevines grace the hills, and the waters of Lake Caldaro sparkle in the distance. An authentic wine region! What possesses someone who is not from a brewing family and has no ties to the brewing industry whatsoever to establish a brewery here, in a wine region? We asked him. BRAUWELT International spoke with Lutz Philipp, owner of BergnerBräu GmbH in Eppan, Italy, and his business partners Beate Romen and Manuel Perktold.
