Wacken brewery

We come from Wacken in Holstein, a region mostly off the beaten track. A little country, often gray and sometimes flat like the bland uniform taste of industrial beer, which we endured for far too long, like thirsty Bedouins wandering through the brewery-poor and monotonous desert.

Our small craft beer brewery was founded at the beginning of 2016 by three beer enthusiasts in the heart of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein. After months of planning and seemingly endless conversion work on a former supermarket, the time had finally come in mid-June: the brewing equipment was set up. Since then we have a so-called three-vessel brewhouse with a capacity of 20hl per brew, i.e. a yield of 2000 liters per brewing process. The beer is fermented and stored in five stainless steel tanks with a total capacity of 220hl. In addition, we have decided to operate our own bottling plant in order to be as flexible as possible. Our beer is brewed, fermented, stored and bottled here in Wacken. Thus it is a genuine product directly from the region.

Our team currently consists of the three founders, a brewmaster, a sales manager, a merchant, two apprentices and a temp.
