The Brew Crew
Responsible for the unique beers is our brew crew headed by Matthias Koschahre. With a lot of passion, knowledge and creativity, they are constantly developing new surprising beer creations.
Matthias Koschahre, Brewery Manager
He's doing the job with passion and love since 2008. Since 2021 he is the boss, because of that he's often forced to use the computer. But he's just as good with the bottling line or the brewhouse control. No beer before four (as a matter of principle). He's a devoted wearer of sweatpants and sneakers.
Michel Rieder, Brewer
A gifted beer enthusiast, he loves to ski and is Matthias' third hand. He has a flair for technical matters and keeps the facilities in good shape. Despite a touch of Aargauer dialect, he is allowed to take on a speaking role at the legendary open-air theatre Tellspiele.
Cyril Kummer, Brewer
If he hadn't discovered brewing beer for himself, he would probably be playing soccer in the Super League now. But he has made peace with brewing beer in the Champions League instead. Doesn't drink coffee. His heart belongs to YB.
Joao Martins Coelho, Brewer
From dishwasher to brewer, he's the Elvis Presley of the tram depot. He doesn't refuse any job, he knows everyone and he organises food for you at any time of the day. In the morning he is consistently 5 minutes late.
Cédric Humair, Logistics
He brings you your beer and is a welcome helper with all kinds of work in the cellar. He has a great sense of humour and is currently the only person in the brewery who has to change his glasses to read.
ANNA GMEINER, APPRENTICE
She is our apprentice food technologist with a focus on beer. She already has extremely useful chemistry skills from her first apprenticeship as a laboratory assistant. She can also do Pilates, but it's rarely needed for brewing. Strengthens the YB front.
