Robby Collins

Robby was born in middle america and grew up as a stereotypical american boy. At the age of 20, he decided that he wanted to do something spectacular, so he set off to Arizona to reinvent himself. He started climbing mountans and went to university. After 10 years of effort, he hadn't achieved his spectacular life, so he moved to Switzerland and began brewing beer in the Swiss alps. 

Passionate about making the world a better place, he and his wife created their version of a sustainable business in the Swiss alps. Wanting to amplify his force for good, Robby is always looking for ways to contribute. With a bag full of tricks from his 48 years of lifes challenges, he is determined to help others to find their sustainable way of living. He lives by the motto "what got you here wont get you there". Learning is his passion and achieving the impossible is his objective. But in the end, he is just a dumb brewer.

  • The Essence of Being Human: 8 Ordinary People Striving to Live Extraordinary Lives

    James Moffat, Sheila Balgobin, Robby Collins, Galia Yakimova, Joost Joseph Nauta, Brenda Jane Scarborough, Pete Canalichio (in Philosophy & Self-Improvement)

    True Stories of Resilience

    The Essence of Being Human is a powerful tapestry of eight deeply personal, true stories shared by individuals from different corners of the world. Each narrative opens a window into the raw, unfiltered experiences of real people navigating love, loss, resilience, transformation, and hope.

Whether it's the quiet strength of survival, the ache of separation, or the joy of unexpected connection, each voice contributes something honest and irreplaceable to the collective portrait.… Read more
