Experience Beer in Baden-Württemberg

Home of Hops and Malt

In Baden-Württemberg, beer tastes of diversity and regional character. You might also notice the special dedication from the over 200 craft, farm, and major breweries working to expand the nuances of beer’s spectrum. The tasting of beer specialties such as Kellerbier, Märzen or craft beer is even more enjoyable if you first work up a thirst along the hop trails. You can also learn the traditional craft yourself, for example, in special brewing courses. Or visit Ehingen, the “Beer Culture Town,” with the most breweries in the region.
