Bierfestival Asse – Rittergut Wittmar

Asse — striking ridge in East Lower Saxony

The Asse ridge extends southeast of Wolfenbüttel and shapes the landscape of the municipality of Baddeckenstedt. With its wooded slopes, viewpoints, and the well-known Asse tavern, it is a popular destination and, at the same time, geologically and economically significant. On clear days, the view from the Asse offers a wide panorama over the Braunschweig region.

Rittergut Wittmar as a festival backdrop

Rittergut Wittmar is a historic manor estate whose inner courtyard, barns, and grounds provide an atmospheric backdrop for the beer festival. With its old walls, wooden beams, and cobblestone pavement, the place exudes the rural-historic tranquility that makes the beer festival a relaxed summer experience.

Diversity of North German beer culture

The beer stands typically offer beers from regional North German breweries, including Pilsner, Helles, Weizen, dark beers, Bock specialties, and occasionally craft beer innovations. Brewers are available for conversations and information about the brewing process, complemented by hearty specialties — Bratwurst, Sauerfleisch, farmer's bread with spreads, regional cheeses. Musical accompaniment ensures a festive mood.
