1. Bergedorfer Biertag

Bergedorf — Hamburg's Southeastern District

Bergedorf is located on the southeastern edge of Hamburg and, with its marsh and Vier- und Marschlanden, is the largest district of the Hanseatic city by area. The district has its own identity — with a historic old town around the castle, vibrant local culture, and a brewing tradition being revived by local microbreweries.

LOLA Cultural Centre Lohbrügge — The Venue

In the Bergedorf district of Lohbrügge lies the LOLA Cultural Centre — one of Hamburg's most renowned local cultural addresses. Concerts, readings, workshops, art-house cinema, and festivals: For decades, LOLA has been a central venue for the independent scene in southern Hamburg. In May 2026, the centre will open its doors for a Beer Day for the first time.

Premiere: May 30, 2026

The 1st Bergedorfer Biertag will take place on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 2 PM to 8 PM. This is the first edition — a new format that combines the regional brewery landscape with local culture.

Participating Breweries

Three regional breweries will present their beers:

• 4Länder Brauerei — Craft beer from the Hamburg region
• Bill Brew — Microbrewery with an experimental profile
• It's A Wrap — Small brewery with creative varieties

Food, Music, and Drinks

In addition to the beer stalls, a classic summer festival program rounds off the day:

• Grill specialties, bowls, and small snacks
• Sourdough breads and specialty oils from regional production
• Cocktails from the LOLA bar
• From 5 PM, live music with The Clarry — Country, Rock, and Pop (with a voluntary tip for the band)

Bergedorfer Zeitung as Patron

The Beer Day is presented by the Bergedorfer Zeitung — the district's traditional local newspaper. The anchoring in the local media is intended to help the format establish itself in the neighbourhood.

Why a Beer Day in Bergedorf?

Hamburg is a beer city — Astra, Holsten, Ratsherrn define the cityscape. But the microbrewery scene in the Hamburg region has grown significantly in recent years. Bergedorf, located on the edge of the Hamburg region, is a logical venue for a format that brings these small breweries together and connects local culture with the local culinary scene. The first edition means: still in development, still without routine — but with the charm of a premiere.
