Groninger
About
Welcome to Gröninger Privatbrauerei, Hamburg’s oldest working brewery, founded in 1793. Nestled just a stone‑throw from the historic Speicherstadt, the brewery offers guests a unique blend of tradition and hospitality. Visitors can enjoy freshly poured pilsners and a selection of classic German dishes—ranging from the hearty Schweinshaxe to the signature Brauschmaus—served in the original brick‑work, copper‑kettle‑lined Braukeller. The brewery’s self‑pour experience, where guests hand‑draw their beer straight from a wooden barrel, provides an immersive look at Hamburg’s brewing heritage. Beyond the beer and menu, the venue also accommodates private events and larger festivities. The spacious Bar furniture, warm timber accents, and bustling brewery atmosphere make it an inviting spot for casual catch‑ups, family gatherings, or corporate celebrations. With a complimentary beer reservation system available online, planning a visit or booking a table has never been easier. The Braukeller’s rustic charm, combined with the brewery’s proud 225‑year tradition and strict Reinheitsgebot brewing practices, renders Gröninger a must‑visit destination for beer lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
