A short 15 minute walk from the Rapperswil Train Station, the Bier Factory welcomes the public on the first and third Saturdays of the month. This small-batch craft brewery opens its doors for guests to learn the processes of fermentation and purchase a bottle to take home. Those tired of light Pilsners will be happy to find a full and flavorful lineup of beers. Double IPA, Chocolate Porter, Black Bier and my surprising favorite the Rappigold Due. to its limited industrial space, the Bier Factory does not offer food or book entertainment. My day in Rapperswil didn’t suffer from the absence of either. With the Kinderzoo & Diners Club Arena blocks away, the brewery serves as an ideal location to mix up the weekend routine for those on foot or not having a vehicle.

Went by earlier, was a decent place. Met with the brewers, all friendly, had a good chat. Would recommend trying if you're into your beers, or even if you're not.

I visited the beer factory on Saturday with a buddy of mine and bought some beers right from the brewery. I met Gabe, the boss and he kingly gave me a taste of more than a few of his craft beers. I would highly recommend this place, even if it's just to try my favourite of the bunch, the "Puffed Daddy" stout (which actually has Marshmallow in there!). I'll be giving my friends these cool bottles as gifts - a total conversation starter at parties!

Hi. Thanks for your review. And yes Gabe is a super cool guy. He still has that Portland vibe about him. We hope you enjoyed the "Puffy" and will see you soon. Have a great one. Bis bald.

Each BF beer I’ve tried so far has been really good, even the types I normally wouldn’t go for. My favorites include Daydreamer, OH IPA, and Giki Ginger. Their Saturday ramp sales are a great opportunity to buy beers, meet the staff and check out the brewery.

Met friendly people and enjoyed a glass of excellent beer. The stout is the best I have tasted for a long time, but all styles are very good. Only 5 minutes walk from Jona train station. Purchased 6 bottles to take home, but they are now available in supermarkets.
