Gleumes

August Gleumes house brewery in Krefeld is a long-established business that has been considered the city's oldest brewery since 1807 and is a fixture there. The range is dominated by the top-fermented Lagerbier, brewed according to a secret family recipe, along with Gleumes Hell, introduced in 2001. Seasonal specialty beers are also available, served to guests at the bar. Production strictly follows the German Purity Law of 1516, using only malt, hops, yeast, and water as ingredients. Besides selling beer, the brewery offers a variety of educational programs, including guided tours of the brewing facilities and production processes. These tours take place exclusively by advance reservation and provide insight into the history of beer. Several times a year, brewing courses are also organized for groups of six or more people, in which participants actively take part in the entire process, from mashing to adding the yeast. After about six weeks of maturation, the beer brewed together can be tasted in a cozy get-together.
