THREE FESTIVALS IN SEPTEMBER

The brewery will close on the following days:

  • Saturday 13.09 – because we’re at FestYmalt in Yverdon-les-Bains
  • Saturday 20.09 – because we’re at Festival des Brasseries Artisanales Fribourgeoises (FBAF) in Fribourg
  • Friday 26.09 & Saturday 27.09 – because we’re sharing a stand with Domaine des Lerins in the Village vigneron at the Fête des Vendanges

We really hope you can come and see us there!

(But for those of you who don’t like festivals, you’ll find us at the brewery on Thursday 18.09, Friday 19.09 and Thursday 25.09.)

CELESTIAL INVITED TO « DINER A LA FERME »

Celestial is extremely proud that Dylan, from Domaine de Bel-Air in Le Landeron, chose our beers for his meal in the televised contest Dîner à la ferme.

Dylan presented our entire range to the candidates from the cantons of Vaud, Jura and Valais during the aperitif and served L’autre monde, our coffee stout, and Sundae, our ephemeral tropical stout, with dessert.

His meal was a showcase of Neuchâtel’s expertise that had us licking our lips. Congratulations to Dylan and his entire team!

You can watch the whole show below:

OUR BEER CERTIFIED ‘REGIO GARANTIE’

L’intemporelle, our Belgian-style witbier, and La perche filante, our blonde ale, are made with a majority of Neuchâtel grain. Since July 2023 these two beers have been certified ‘Neuchâtel Vins et Terroir Regio Garantie’.

Our barley comes from the Combazin farm in Le Landeron and our wheat from the Les Mouilles farm in Wavre.

The raw materials for these two beers are organic.

Our other beers are also brewed with the best ingredients.

OUR STORY

Peter

After a first inglorious attempt at the age of 14 at making alcohol by fermenting grapes in a plastic container under his bed in his hometown of Sveg, Sweden, Peter ended up studying IT. He moved to Neuchatel in 1992 to work for an industrial design software multinational. On his business trips to California, Peter discovered Marin Brewing Company and Anchor Brewing, Sierra Nevada and Lagunitas beers – and became a keen craft beer enthusiast. He started brewing as a hobby. As his taste for craft beer grew, his taste for endless business meetings diminished. In 2017 he decided to open his own independent craft brewery. Today he is in his element.

Marianne

Marianne’s great-great-great-great-grandmother, a 44-year-old widow, ran away with the 26-year-old Swedish gardener who worked on her family farm, provoking a massive scandal at the time. Unfortunately, Marianne’s ancestor died before Jacob Letterstedt, the man who became her second husband, made a success of his project: the Mariendahl Brewery in Cape Town. It would later become one of the founding institutions of South African Breweries. Marianne, one of the founders Celestial, hopes to have her revenge on history for her forbear’s sake. Today, as co-founder, she brews with Peter, imagines beer names and invents Celestial iconography.

WHERE TO FIND PARADISE

Brasserie Celestial is located on the shore of lake Neuchâtel, near the city of Neuchâtel, about 200 metres from La Tène Beach.

The brewery is open for bottle sales from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, or by appointment.
