James Fram Flensburg — Craft Beer with an IPA focus from Flensburg
Waldhaus Brauerei Schwarzwald — Southern German tradition meets Northern Germany

Street Food: Dry-aged burgers, tarte flambée, antipasti, fresh fish, Asian street food

The Location — Brandenburger Strand

The venue is the Westerland Beach Promenade at Brandenburger Strand — right by the sea, with a wide view of the North Sea. The combination of salty air, sunset over the water, and craft beer enjoyment makes the festival a summer highlight not only for beer fans but also for beach vacationers looking for a special evening on the promenade.

Sylt in the District of Nordfriesland

Sylt is the largest North Frisian island in the District of Nordfriesland, in the far north of the state of Schleswig-Holstein. Westerland — the main town on the island — with its kilometer-long beach promenade, Friedrichstraße, and train connection, is the gateway to the island. The Craft Beer & Gourmet Festival perfectly utilizes the Westerland beach promenade for its open-air format.
