About

Antoine Crettaz is a Swiss Marketing Manager and founder, owner and brewer of hellowhale - a small craft beer project born in Salgesch, Valais, during the pandemic. What began in a garage evolved into a symbol of creativity, resilience, and purpose, earning international recognition by winning the 2023 Craft Beer Marketing Awards (CBMA) for Best Bottle Design in Nashville, Tennessee. Through hellowhale, Antoine built more than a brand: he built a reflection of his values - authenticity, curiosity, and courage.

In his book DREAM BIG - A True Story, he shares his personal and entrepreneurial journey with hellowhale - a story about building with heart, navigating uncertainty, and knowing when to let go. Beyond brewing, his philosophy remains simple and sincere: create with meaning, stay true to yourself, and always keep dreaming.
