About us
Our history
What we do
Ingwerer is on everyone's lips! This favourite drink has always been produced by hand in Berne (Switzerland) with lots of love, care and a generous portion of ginger. We use organic ingredients that give the Ingwerer its unique and much-beloved flavour.
Of course, we use traditional craftsmanship and know that Ingwerer is best produced in good company and with a lot of rhythm. Incidentally, this is also the best way to enjoy Ingwerer...
Our heart beats for producing the best liqueur in the world! We have dedicated ourselves to the careful production of unusual liqueurs and, wherever possible, we work with local products and here, too, we focus primarily on organic quality. Our production facility is located in Bern on Zentweg, where our products are lovingly handcrafted.
What we stand for
Just as ginger grows, our company has also grown and become firmly rooted, with many different facets and characteristics. Ingwerer produces organic and locally wherever possible. We not only pay careful attention to our products, but also to our entire team. People are our priority and we stand for colourful, mixed cooperation, where fairness and respect are lived at eye level. This colourful mix, which is also reflected in language, musical tastes and humour, is ultimately what makes up our working atmosphere. And this is what ultimately gives our products their peppy, spicy flavour - welcome to Peppe GmbH!
What we support
First of all, it’s already clear that we – and our raw materials - are pretty open-minded when it comes to music. It unites us all, and many a ginger has been better processed with hot samba sounds, hip-hop beats or rocking guitar tones. In this sense, we are committed to cultural music creation, which unfortunately still receives too little support. Whether music festivals, concerts or bands - we want to be active and make a small contribution here.
This is us
The 1A colourful bunch team at Zentweg 1A has not only gathered here because of the address. Among others, the following people are responsible for your favourite drink on board.
This is what we have done so far
This day
It's almost like it was in the early days: a little less complicated, a little smaller, simpler, more direct, more personal, more local and more human.
All in all, like our Schnapps: simply good!
2024
For around four years, the company took a (geo)graphic excursion to Asia and travelled around various world markets.
In August, the time has come: Peppe returns to the company after around 4 years - at the latest now it is clear why the company has always been called Peppe GmbH - with him on board are Mänu and Steff - so a completely new management! And now time is up to go back to the roots! Our roots are growing from Bern out into the world - and with the most diverse rhythms!
2019
Shortly afterwards, Ingwerer is certified organic and vegan.
2018
Once again, Ingwerer packs its bags and moves, this time directly to Zentweg 1A, where we are still located today. Of course, this decision was not only made because of the suitable address, but also because there is enough space here in the new home, plenty of storage space and a proper ramp for the lorries.
2015
It's time to expand production and professionalise it even more. The cooking pots are also far too small. For this reason, the company moves into the ‘Alte Feuerwehr Viktoria’ ‘Autolavage’. The processes will be optimised here and a larger kitchen will be set up. In addition, all friends can breathe a sigh of relief, as the company now has its own storage space and no longer has to temporarily store bottles and various materials in the cellars of countless friends.
2013
The official course of the Ingwerer story began in 2013, when production had to be moved from the private kitchen due to increasing demand. A new production site was found for the next two years in ‘Café Kairo’.
Before 2013
Switzerland's first ginger liqueur - already named Ingwerer - was developed a few years before 2013. During this time, Peppe Jenzer developed and refined the drink over a longer period of time, which - whether out of perfectionism or simply boredom - ultimately led to a wonderful ginger liqueur! Ingwerer was born and has remained true to traditional craftsmanship and the recipe to this day.
