Four Days of Indulgence by the Harbour
The Craft Beer & Gourmet Festival Stade is one of the biggest culinary events of spring in the Stade district. For four days, pavilions, bars, and food trucks will be set up around the historic Hansehafen. Breweries from Northern Germany and beyond will present their artisan beers – from classic Pilsner varieties to fruity IPAs, dark Stouts, and experimental Sour Ales.
Craft Beer, Wine, and Cocktails
In addition to beer, the festival also focuses on wine and cocktails. Winegrowers from German wine regions will present their vintages. Cocktail bars will mix signature drinks with regional spirits. Guests can taste, compare, and purchase in a relaxed atmosphere.
Street Food at the City Harbour
The culinary offerings range from burgers and pulled pork to pizza al taglio, Asian specialties, fish classics, and vegan options, as well as desserts and specialty coffees. The food trucks and stalls are positioned to keep the harbour scenery in view at all times.
Hansehafen as a Backdrop
The Old Hansehafen Stade is one of the most beautiful harbour facilities in Northern Germany. Restored half-timbered houses, the harbour crane, narrow alleys, and the historic atmosphere of the former Hanseatic city give the festival a unique character. A short walk away are the Hökerhus and the Schwedenspeicher Museum – popular destinations for a short stroll between tastings.
