Next week, the Locher Brewery will launch a new honey beer in collaboration with the Swiss Beekeeping Association. This beer, brewed with Swiss honey, is produced in Appenzell AI. Mathias Götti-Limacher, managing director of Bienen Schweiz, emphasizes the importance of this partnership, noting that imported honey is often used in processed products like cakes. He is pleased that only Swiss honey is used in the Honey Beer. The Swiss honey carries a gold seal, representing quality standards and local beekeeping, which is now reflected in the beer. A portion of each beer sale will benefit Bienen Schweiz, funding bee-friendly projects such as a flowering area support program. Currently, about 26 beekeepers from nearly every canton supply honey to the brewery. Götti-Limacher also mentions that this year is expected to yield a good honey harvest, ensuring supply despite a self-sufficiency rate of 33% for Swiss honey. He concludes that the combination of these two Swiss products is a win.
