THINGS ARE CHANGING

Our new labels are here!

Our bottles have changed but the taste of our beer hasn’t.

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.

CELESTIAL STORY

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’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.
