Nina Anika Klotz

Nina is our hop heroine - in the truest sense of the word, because the freelance journalist and beer sommelier is the founder of Germany's leading digital craft beer magazine “Hopfenhelden”. In Nina's universe, everything revolves around beer. But not about boring, monotonous, conventional beer, but about extraordinary, special, creative and wild beers. In short, craft beer.

For the love of beer

As a Bavarian native, Nina's love for beer was practically born in her cradle. She traditionally liked what her homeland had to offer, namely light beer and wheat beer. But then the first craft beer came into her life: an IPA. Since then, the craft beer hype has infected Nina and she predicted that the movement would have a great response in the beer country of Germany. Craft beer is becoming increasingly popular in Germany and Nina is making a significant contribution to this. With a lot of enthusiasm, specialist knowledge and attention to detail, she imparts beer knowledge, asks exciting questions and brings brewers who are anything but normal into conversation. Nina tells the stories behind beer and gives us an insight into the fascinating world of beer far away from large breweries and taverns.

99x craft beer. The best beers you have to try

There has been a huge change in Europe's beer scene in recent years: the previously few beer styles that brewers focused on have been joined. Pils, Bock and Lager were joined by many more of the world's 120 beer styles, and Germany's beer landscape also became and continues to be colorful. Choosing the right beer has of course become more complicated as the range has grown. You can't try them all, especially because many of the craft beers have a higher alcohol content and are actually meant to be enjoyed consciously rather than downed. Nina gives us her book “ 99x Craft Beer. The best beers you have to try – exactly what we need to get an overview of the craft beer jungle. On 192 pages she introduces us to her favorite beers for every situation and the corresponding brewers. We read funny anecdotes, turbulent brewery stories and wise words from young and old brewers. Nina's work is a fabulous overview of the burgeoning craft beer landscape and is an entertaining read that will leave you thirsty for more.
