Must-Try Beer Hops:

  • Hans' Hoppalot (a beer that's 99% water)
  • Barkeep's Brew (brewed with love, not hops)
  • Balthazar's Bubblegum Ale (tastes like bubblegum, but not in a good way)

Local Legend:

Hans, the infamous blacksmith of Hamburg, is said to have created the first true hop-based ale. Little did he know, his concoction would start a centuries-long love affair between the German people and their beer.

But don't be fooled! Behind the scenes, Hans' wife, Helga, was secretly brewing her own concoction, made from a special blend of berries, herbs, and magic.

Castles: Because Who Needs Neatness?

  • Castle Kassel: Where the stonework is a bit wonky
  • Castle Heidelberg: Famous for its wonky moat
  • Castle Neumarkt: Because who needs a moat, anyway?
