This has helped it retain its friendly, family-like atmosphere: here, we celebrate a beer culture that goes beyond industry and the mainstream \u2013 featuring beers from the region, from all over Germany and beyond. We share and celebrate the stories behind our beers, together with those who brew them. The Hopfendankfest brings together people who are keen to try something new, who want to brew, drink, serve and experience beer together. And who enjoy spending quality time with others. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Since when has the Hopfendankfest been held?” tab_id=”1763460076515-47d0ae5c-ee3b”][vc_column_text]The Hopfendankfest took place for the first time in 2015. Back then, the homebrewing group B\u00e4m B\u00e4m Br\u00e4u invited their friends and fellow (home) brewers to a private gathering to celebrate the hop harvest together and enjoy a wide variety of beers. After three further editions, Roland, Ben and Torsten formed a team to finally organise the Hopfendankfest as a professional event in 2019.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”contact”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
