Dr. Kochan Schnapskultur

Schnapskultur, led by Dr. Thomas Kochan and his wife Katrin Miketta, is a unique company that specializes in the marketing and sale of handcrafted spirits. With a deep-rooted connection to the culture and history of alcohol consumption in the GDR, Schnapskultur offers a wide range of high-quality spirits from family businesses, monasteries, and independent distilleries.

• Handcrafted Spirits: The selection includes brandy, clear spirits, liqueurs, whisky, rum, and cognac, all distinguished by their high quality and traditional production methods.
• Craft Spirit Festival: Annually, Dr. Kochan and his wife, together with friends and business partners, host a festival that celebrates the diversity and variety of the spirits world, attracting visitors from around the globe.
• Consultation and Sales: In their store in Berlin, they offer personal consultation and comprehensive service to find the perfect spirit for any occasion[1][3].

The mission of Schnapskultur lies in the appreciation and promotion of traditional spirit production. Dr. Kochan, who has written a doctoral thesis on alcohol consumption in the GDR, is committed to preserving and passing on the cultural heritage of spirit production. The company's values are based on quality, tradition, and a deep connection to the culture and history of spirits[1].

Schnapskultur places great importance on sustainability and quality. By collaborating with family businesses and independent distilleries, the company supports small, local producers and promotes traditional production methods. This not only ensures the quality of the products but also contributes to the preservation of traditional skills and the local economy[3].

The company is not just a place to buy spirits, but also a cultural meeting point. The stories and memories that Dr. Kochan has collected during his research are reflected in the way the company interacts with its customers. The annual festivals and personal consultations create a community that goes beyond mere sales[1].

Schnapskultur is thus more than just a spirits shop – it is a journey through the history, culture, and diversity of the spirits world, connecting tradition and innovation.
