After all, who knew SouthWest Germany was home to so many breweries and different types of beer? Even hops – the key to any great beer – are grown here on a large scale and exported to locations around the world. Young, creative microbreweries are springing up left and right, bringing fresh ideas to a market typically dominated by mid-sized breweries with long traditions. This increased competition means nothing but great things for you, the customer; when you visit one of our region’s charming beer gardens, you can expect smiling faces and the red-carpet treatment as you enjoy the best beer Germany has to offer. After all, with the 500th anniversary of the German Purity Law, or “Reinheitsgebot”, just around the corner, we’ve had plenty of time to become masters of our trade. This law was established an entire five centuries ago in 1516, making it the oldest food law in Germany to still be in effect today.

While Munich is famous for its Oktoberfest and Stuttgart for its Cannstatter Volksfest, the city of Hamburg is celebrated for its Hamburger Dom - a tri-annual public festival that is the oldest and largest of its kind in northern Germany. The fairground is filled with rollercoaster rides, a Ferris wheel, amusement and food stands, and attracts several million visitors each year to its spring, summer and winter funfairs. Rollercoasters surrounded by corn on the cob stalls; the smell of roasted almonds reaching a carousel for children and adults; candied fruits, sausages, pancakes and various waffle bakers; the Ferris wheel is the landmark of the Dom again and again, and an extra adventure area - always with a new theme - has also been part of the Dom for quite a few years. The 2013 festival marks the 684th time that Hamburg has hosted this event since it was first recorded in the early 1300s. Many centuries ago, the fair was organized by a group of jugglers, traders, artisans, showmen and merchants on the square of St. Mary's Cathedral (also called the Hamburger Dom) in the weeks leading up to the holiday season.
