Hann. Münden Beer Festival

Beer Festival with Profile

Since its first edition, the Hann. Münden Beer Festival has positioned itself as a small but distinguished beer festival. Instead of a wide variety of types with numerous breweries, the festival focuses on conscious selection: two regional breweries with an artisanal profile are given the space to present their beers in detail. This distinguishes the festival from the large beer festivals in the metropolises, which often prioritize quantity over quality.

Mündener Ratsbrauhaus

The Mündener Ratsbrauhaus is the city brewery of Hann. Münden and stands in the tradition of several hundred years of Münden brewing history. Artisanal production in smaller quantities, reference to historical recipes, and regional anchoring make the Ratsbrauhaus an authentic representative of the North German brewing tradition.

Braumanufaktur Steckenpferd Kassel

The Braumanufaktur Steckenpferd from Kassel is a modern craft beer brewery with an innovative range. IPA, Stout, Porter, Sour Beer, and experimental cuvées define its profile. The combination of the traditional Mündener Ratsbrauhaus and the modern Kassel manufactory creates an exciting spectrum at the festival, covering the entire range of contemporary brewing.

Location on the Dielengraben

The Dielengraben is one of Hann. Münden's most idyllic promenades. Located directly between the Werra and Welfenschloss, it offers a setting that combines water, architecture, and city history. On warm May days, when the Werra River reflects the sky and the Welfenschloss forms the backdrop, an atmosphere is created that makes the festival more than just a beer fair.

Live Music with Stromfrei and Feierklang

On Friday, May 8th, 2026, Stromfrei will perform – an acoustic band that lives up to its name and plays without amplifiers. On Saturday, May 9th, 2026, Feierklang will take the stage with a more festive, energetic program. The choice of bands suits the festival character: artisanal, with profile, without oversized stage shows.
