Cannstatter Wasen? Have you been? Hofbräuhaus Munich? Have you seen it?
To satisfy your curiosity for a new beer experience, we ventured into something new. A place where hops and malt can even be found in shampoo: Ehingen, the beer culture town on the Danube.
Upon arrival at the tourist information office, it becomes clear that beer culture is alive and well here. You're greeted with a beer mat, which you can exchange for one of the 43 local beers. At the Bierkulturhotel Schwanen, pillowcases with beer motifs are available in the lobby, and beer crates are featured as room furnishings, along with beer portraits in the hallways, demonstrate the importance of this cold barley beverage in this city.
Combining beer culture and hiking. Ehingen offers a unique and modern solution for this.
With the accompanying app, the multimedia tour provides an overview of the city and supplies us with all the information we need to know about Germany's favorite drink.
Don't just look, touch, too. Whether tapping a beer keg with a traditional wooden hammer or caramelizing beer with a glowing metal bolt, you can get hands-on at the Berg Brewery. A subsequent tour through the depths of the disused brewery cellar provides insights into the history of brewing in Ehingen.
Malt crust, beer sauce, and beer batter. Naturally, the food here also has a beer flavor. A visit to the Gasthof Brauerei Schwanen is accompanied by a beer menu that's second to none. With pages of descriptions of the flavor, ideal serving temperature, and strength of the beer specialties, every guest will find something to their liking.
The beer leaves a lasting impression. A pleasant aroma lingers even after we leave, as even the hotel's own body wash contains brewer's yeast and hops. The beer-culture town of Ehingen offers a communal beer experience that will energize our senses.
