Ignatz Bier is a boutique artisan craft pilsner, brewed by HomeBase artists, beer lovers, neighbors and social entrepreneurs at the old Engelhardt Brewery located at Thulestrasse 54, Berlin, now home to HomeBase LAB, as a community based project.
Ignatz Bier was created as a tribute bier to the original landlord and director of Engelhardt brewery, Jewish-German business man and philonthropist Ignatz Nacher, as a unique artistic, cultural and social product, carrying our message of interconnectedness in society in a bottle.
The Beer is brewed on site as part of a live, interactive artistic event in a limited edition of 99 bottles – all signed. The Ignatz Bier labels are created as a scroll telling the story of the building, past, present and future.
Last year HomeBase was invited to present Ignatz Bier project at the prestigious VOLTA 7 art show in Basel, showcasing the first batch of 99 boutique Ignatz Bier bottles. Now Ignatz Bier is arriving to VOLTA NYC for it’s USA launch.
