About the Brewery

Brasserie Docteur Gab's SA is a handcrafted Swiss brewery based in Puidoux in the canton of Vaud, in the heart of the Lavaux region. Since 2001, according to its own statements, the company has been brewing craft beers for over 25 years, including IPA, Blonde, Weisse, Ambrée and non-alcoholic beers. The range includes, among others, the SWAF product lines (including SWAF Sans Alcool and SWAF Infinie) as well as the non-alcoholic brand Placebo, complemented by seasonal beers such as a Peach Sour. A central element of the business model is the take-back of glass bottles: empty bottles are returned, cleaned and reused. The products are available via the company's own online shop; communication is in French. Sales are oriented towards Switzerland, with a focus on French-speaking Switzerland (Romandie).
