A must-attend event for beer lovers and connoisseurs: On May 22, 2026, six renowned Karlsruhe breweries will open their doors for an evening of enjoyment, tradition, and conviviality. For the third time, visitors can marvel at the diversity of Karlsruhe's beer culture and enjoy an exclusive supporting program.
"In 2026, everything in Karlsruhe will revolve around special moments of enjoyment – whether it's enjoying culture, culinary highlights, or simply a special moment in the city," says Pascal Rastetter, Managing Director of KTG Karlsruhe Tourismus GmbH. "The Long Night of Breweries is just such a moment of enjoyment, because it gives the city a very special flair: strolling together from one brewery to another, meeting familiar faces, discovering new things – and enjoying the time in cheerful company."
From organic beers and spicy classics to creative new creations, the participating breweries will once again be presenting unique beer specialities this year and offering exciting insights behind the scenes. Badisch Brauhaus, Brauerei Wolf, Kühler Krug, Fächerbräu, Moninger, Vogelbräu Karlsruhe, and Durlach will all be there. The beer tasting will be complemented by an exclusive supporting program that will make the evening a special experience.
Non-alcoholic "tasting sips" are also available on site for children, teenagers, and non-beer drinkers.
To ensure that everyone can enjoy a relaxed evening, the Karlsruhe Transport Authority is the mobility partner for the "Long Night of Breweries in Karlsruhe." With the event ticket, participants can travel comfortably from home to the event locations, move flexibly between the individual locations, and then return home safely. The ticket is valid for all public transport throughout the KVV network.
Advance ticket sales for €10 will begin on February 9 in the KTG online shop and at the Tourist Information Center in Schaufenster Karlsruhe. Tickets will also be available at the door for €12 at participating breweries. Each ticket includes access to the exclusive supporting program, a tasting glass, a stamp card, and a KVV ticket (valid throughout the KVV network during the event period).
Participants will receive the exclusive branded tasting glass upon presentation of their ticket at the first brewery where they start the Long Night.
"Over the years, the Long Night of Breweries has become a tradition that allows us to celebrate Karlsruhe's long brewing tradition together," says the KTG's managing director proudly.
The success of this tradition is primarily due to the participating breweries themselves, which are once again sharing their passion for beer brewing with guests in its third year and demonstrating what regional brewing can achieve with creativity, quality, and commitment.
"A great start to our Year of Enjoyment 2026 – and yet only the beginning," reveals Pascal Rastetter with a smile, "because there are many more culinary highlights to come throughout the year."
