Take a tour through Hesse's largest private Beer Brewery
Categories: Dining
Did you ever want to tour a famous German brewery to see how German beer gets produced as well as participate at a beer tasting of the world class Licher Pilsner beer?
The Licher Privatbrauerei Ihring-Melchior GmbH is a famous brewery in Lich (Lich vacation rentals | Lich travel guide), Hesse. Lich is located about 12 km southeast of Giessen (Giessen vacation rentals | Giessen travel guide). The brewery has 250 employees and is therefore the largest private brewery in Hesse. Licher Beer has also been market leader since 1988 in Hesse. Their beer is famous in Hesse and well beyond Hesse. Indeed, it is known to be one of the top 20 beers in the German beer market.
They offer private tours where you first watch a movie about the company, its history, and their products. But who wants just a movie? As a highlight you get to tour the brewery and taste their famous beer fresh from the tap.
We recommend after the tour to stroll to Lich's charming downtown. There are lots of good restaurants and small shops that offer you a perfect way of ending the day.
