Hannover Altstadt Brewhouse Walking Tour

Hannover Erleben leads this walking tour through the city's historic Altstadt, focusing on the brewhouses clustered around the Marktkirche, including stops at Broyhan Haus, named for the brewer credited with the region's Broyhan-style beer. The route weaves through the Altstadt's narrow lanes between two to three brewhouses, pausing at each for a beer tasting alongside samples of Hannoveraner regional dishes such as Kartoffelsuppe or regional sausage. The guide narrates the history of brewing in Hannover and the Altstadt's rebuilding after wartime destruction. Included in the price are the English-speaking guide, beer tastings at each brewhouse stop, and a sample of local dishes; not included are full meals or additional rounds of beer beyond the tasting pours. Groups are kept to a manageable size for moving between venues, the tour runs primarily in English, and the pace involves standing and walking between closely spaced Altstadt stops rather than seated dining throughout. Non-alcoholic tastings can typically be arranged at each brewhouse for visitors who prefer not to drink beer. The tour runs year-round, though the Altstadt's outdoor sections are most comfortable in mild weather.
