We are still taking in what an incredible opening event it was. From the entire Merz b. Schwanen team - with our Head Office miles away, in Berlin - we feel truly honoured and grateful to have such a strong and meaningful community in California.
Thank you to everyone who took the time and brought the energy to celebrate this milestone with us, and for all the beers and wines we enjoyed together along the way. As a family-run business, seeing so many people show up for us is an incredibly humbling feeling, and one we never take for granted.
We would also like to thank our team, who were such an integral part of making this opening so special. Thank you for believing in and building this dream with us every step of the way. Your dedication, care, and hard work made this celebration possible.
Thank you for supporting us through every chapter we’ve shared together, and for being just as excited about our future as we are. We are already looking forward to the next chapters ahead - and we hope we’ll be able to celebrate them together too.
Here are a few images from Saturday. We hope you enjoy them, and we look forward to seeing you again very soon at our next event.
To our community: we are forever grateful.
