Overview

Brasserie Docteur Gab's is a Swiss craft brewery based in the canton of Vaud, in the heart of the Lavaux region. It brews craft beers including IPAs, blondes, whites, ambers and alcohol-free beers, and its range is presented as catering to every taste. The brewery traces its origins to 2000, when Gabriel Hasler, then 16, received his first craft beer kit and began brewing with friends Reto Engler and David Paraskevopoulos. It later moved to Epalinges, then Savigny, and in 2018 moved to Puidoux, doubling production capacity. The current premises include production halls, a customer and tasting area, and a shop for direct sales, and the brewery reports the equivalent of 35 full-time personnel.

History

Gabriel Hasler, just 16 years old at the time, was given his first craft beer kit. He got a group of friends on board, including his friend Reto Engler and neighbour David Paraskevopoulos, and set out on a quest to brew their first beer. In 2000 the brewery began in Jouxtens-Mézery (VD). After initially producing 20 litres in Gabriel's parents' kitchen, and then moving to Reto's parents' cellar, the young entrepreneurs soon needed extra space. In 2004 the trio moved to Epalinges, their first premises fully dedicated to brewing, where several 400-litre tuns allowed production to rise to 6,000 litres a year; they found their first trade customers. In 2010, with degrees now under their belts, David, Reto and Gabriel dedicated themselves to their venture full time and increased output to 80,000 litres a year. Two years later, they moved to Claie-aux-Moines (Savigny, VD) and invested in professional brewing equipment with a capacity of 2,500 litres, considerably increasing production capacity and the quality of their ales; the first permanent employees joined the team in production, logistics, administration, and sales. In 2018 the brewery moved to Puidoux, doubling production capacity. The current premises contain production halls, an area for hosting customers and holding tasting sessions, and a shop for direct sales. At present the brewery has the equivalent of 35 full-time personnel.
