Cottbus swings: The new regional beer moll enthusiastically!

Cottbus, Deutschland - The beer lovers in Cottbus can look forward to! On June 30, 2025, the new regional beer “Molle” celebrated its premiere and immediately ensured a real hype. The fresh barley juice product is now available in the late "Karli consumer restaurant" and from drinks Hoffmann. This tasty droplet was developed by Willi Heinrich and David Kowal, who would like to react to the increasing demand for a regional beer in Lausitz. "Molle" could be the new star in the Cottbus beer sky!

The idea sprouted about a year and a half ago and was followed with a lot of dedication. The choice of the Bergquell brewery in Löbau fell as a production partner in order to avoid the financial burdens of its own brewery. After intensive test phases with the Cottbus community, the feedback was consistently positive. The first batch was already sold out after a very short time! So if you want to get a cool "molle", you should be quick.

a real Lausitzer product

special value is placed on regionality, which Alexander Schömmel, owner of the organic shop Schömmel, also emphasizes. The availability of the "Molle" in different shops makes it easy for consumers to support the local product. In addition to the sales outlets already mentioned, "Molle" is also offered in the organic shop Schömmel at Franz-Mehring Straße 62. Future plans not only include non -alcoholic variants, but also larger bottle sizes - in the sense of diversity!

Willi Heinrich and David Kowal have the goal of establishing a beer with which people in Lusatia can identify. Meanwhile, it remains unclear whether a Cottbus brewery can be realized in the future, but hopes are great. After all, Craft Beer is on the rise in Germany and is becoming increasingly popular. According to Statista , the scene contributes to the variety of beer and offers special types of beer away from the mainstream.

The craft beer wave

Germany as a bread country of beer also has a lot to offer in the area of ​​the microbraueries. In 2020, over 900 craft beer breweries were counted, although this number dropped to 856 by 2023. The market share of the small and small breweries is less than two percent of total beer production. The trend has decreased somewhat in Europe, but in the United States everything indicates an increase in small breweries. There the market share of Craft Beer is already over 13 percent.

"Molle" is not only a new product, but also part of a larger movement that Cottbus and Lusatia could rely on the culinary map. The regionality and passion behind the production are that make the beer so special. So there is really something in Cottbus! All the more every beer lover should strike quickly and celebrate the joy of opening with a glass "Molle".
