Neumünster's beer scene lay dormant for almost 30 years before the Wittorf brewery provided a breath of fresh air and new ideas. The last brewery was founded in 1986, and since then there has not been a young brewery that has kept its long-established colleagues in check with modern beer and innovative recipes. That changed in 2017: The Wittorfer team started looking for a suitable location for their brewery.
It would take almost a year until the right location was chosen and the brewery and beer garden could be built. The home of the Wittorfer Brewery was in the hallowed halls of an old cloth factory in Neumünster's Wittorf district. This location not only provided the name of the brewery, but also a venerable old brick building and enough space for all the ideas and plans of Torsten Behrend and Henning Freese. In 2018 the time had come and the brewing could begin. In addition to trendy, fresh beers and craft beers that keep the world in suspense, the brewery also cares about old, traditional beer styles. But the brewers don't just want to revive any old Kamels, but rather the beers that the people of Neumünster have been drinking for centuries. Until the 1920s, the Hinselmann Brewery was responsible for the physical well-being of Neumünster's citizens and workers. The Wittorf brewers would like to build on the work of this brewery and establish new traditions for their city. For this purpose, old beer styles and traditional recipes are being revived and are experiencing a renaissance with a new coat of paint. The Wittorfer Brewery's range is a colorful mix of tried and tested, brand new, trendy and rediscovered beer.
In addition to brewing, the brewery team has built up another mainstay that allows them to live out their passion for good beer. The Wittorf brewery opens its doors once a month and gives those interested the opportunity to try out being a master brewer at the hobby brewer academy. Those interested can learn from the expert himself what is important in brewing and see where the good Wittdorf beer is made on a tour of the brewery. The professional reveals interesting facts about recipes, ingredients, equipment and tips and tricks for the perfect beer. In a six-hour course, participants are guided step by step through the brewing process and brew delicious beer with their own two hands. To reward yourself for your hard work, there is not only a small beer tasting in between and a hearty snack to fortify you, but also a fermentation bucket with your own beer, which can be bottled at home after fermentation.
The Wittdorf brewery is passionate about beer, you can see and taste it!
