Hopfengarten Bamberg

Even though Bamberg is a world heritage site, a cathedral city and a university location, it is primarily and primarily a beer city. The region around Bamberg is the area with the highest density of breweries in the world and there are still more than a dozen breweries in the city itself. There used to be significantly more, but the spirit of connoisseurship and the love for beer is unbroken. The fine barley juice is part of Bamberg's cultural treasure and is lived and celebrated every day in the countless beer cellars, in the pubs, restaurants and breweries. Hops used to be grown in Bamberg in addition to barley - a Bamberg native is now taking up this long-forgotten tradition.

A family of gardeners with vision and a thirst for beer

Kris Emmerling comes from a long line of gardeners. The family business can be traced back an incredible 450 years, so you can easily say that the Emmerlings were born with green thumbs. The Bamberg gardening family decided some time ago to revive hop cultivation in their hometown. After the local cultivation of the green gold was completely stopped around 100 years ago, the local breweries had to source their hops from Spalt beyond Nuremberg, the Hallertau or other hop-growing areas. Because Kris is not only a passionate gardener but also an enthusiastic beer connoisseur, he noticed this problem and couldn't help but think of a solution. The first hops were grown and with the flowering of the aromatic umbels an idea sprouted in the resourceful gardener's head: beer made from his own hops, that's it!

Innovation from Bamberg's smallest brewery

No sooner said than done - a short time later the first brew was brewed in the newly founded Hopfengarten brewery, which claims to be the smallest brewery in Bamberg. As a gardener, Kris and his team make full use of everything: Not only do they have a wide selection of different hops right on their doorstep, the garden also offers young brewers a whole lot of material from which they can create unusual beers. Mint , eucalyptus and strawberries are just three of the unconventional raw materials that find their way into the brewing kettle in the Bamberg hop garden. In addition to experimenting with herbs and fruits, Kris is also interested in innovations in the brewing process. The Bamberg native caused a real sensation with his development of smoked hops: in a multi-step process, the cones from the hop garden are turned into the finest smoked hops - a brand new invention that revolutionized smoked beer production. The most convincing advocate for this innovation is Rauch Hopfen , the fruity smoked beer with patented smoked hops.
