Hops and malt, may the Lord preserve it!
The brewers in the Chiemgau-Area love their craft, which has a centuries-old tradition. This love is also reflected in the quality of the products. It is not for nothing that the local beers receive high awards year after year - for example from the German Agricultural Society.
The "Private Home Brewers" stand for love and enthusiasm for the traditional craft and for the highest quality standards. With over 3,300 years of brewing experience between them, they produce a wealth of around 120 artisan and innovatively brewed beers and beer flavours. The breweries in Chiemgau and Berchtesgadener Land are privately owned and have regional roots. This also benefits the region and is reflected in the sustainable nature, agricultural and social projects that the breweries support. The greatest praise is the satisfied guest, but the quality of the beers is also regularly rewarded with national and international awards, be it the European Beer Star, the World Beer Cup and Award or the DLG.

The Bavarian Purity Law is over 500 years old. It was enacted in 1516 and is still the oldest food law regulation in the world today. But what does it actually say? Well, to summarise briefly, there have long been efforts to standardise the production of beer and prevent "pantscherei". Back then, beer was also considered a staple food and is still often referred to as such today. The aim was to provide citizens with affordable and easily digestible beer.
So what can actually be in a Bavarian beer? Nothing other than hops, barley and water.
»Hops and malt, God forbid«
The private home brewers in Chiemgau and Berchtesgadener Land are represented by five brewery cycle tours connected with each other. Either the brewery itself or the corresponding brewery pub is on the route. These are particularly suitable for a break on the brewery cycle tour. You can take a guided tour or enjoy a cool drink with a matching meal as an energy boost . And a special highlight: there's a stamp pass in our brewery booklet. Anyone who has visited six brewpubs and consumed something in each will receive a "Heimatbrauer 6-er Tragerl" with selected Heimatbrauer beers as a gift . So be quick and order the Heimatbrauerleporello
Most people know beer as a tasty drink, as part of mixed drinks or as an ingredient in dishes. It goes hand in hand with Bavaria and Dirndl and Lederhosen. But beer can also be enjoyed and experienced in ways other than at folk festivals or in pubs . Many of the breweries offer special guided tours , which usually include a beer tasting . Or if you want to brew your own beer, why not take part in a brewing course ?
And if you want to combine beer with sport, get on your bike and cycle from brewery to brewery.
But the beer tastes best in the brewery's own Bräustüberln and beer gardens. If you weren't already aware, you can also bring your own food to many beer gardens, provided that the beer is consumed in the beer garden. Many of the Bräustüberl and beer gardens offer classic Bavarian food, although modern variations also find their way onto the menus.
