The Braustättchen at the Hamburg Fish Market is one of our partner retailers and a contact point for beer enthusiasts in the Hanseatic city. Beer aficionado Christian Temme and his team offer their customers a wide range of different brews and share their enthusiasm for beer at numerous events. Parties, tastings, readings, gourmet evenings and seminars about barley juice take place in the brewery. The next step for Christian Temme was his own brewery - a project that crowned his wealth of experience and passion for beer.
However, Christian was not alone in making his dream come true. Together with Marek Westendorf and Patrick Hartmann we started looking for a suitable location in 2023. They found what they were looking for in the Bergedorf district of Hamburg: the picturesque Billwerder caught their attention and offered the perfect premises for the project. An old slaughterhouse, in which leather was made from salmon skin, met the trio's ideas and requirements and became the new home of the brewing project. Thematically, the three tie in with a Hamburg legend: Before it was taken over by Holsten and finally closed, the Bill brewery and its Moravia Pils were an institution in the Elbe city for a long time and even appeared in a German film classic. With the name Bill Brew, Christian, Marek and Patrick honor their city's beer past and keep the memory of the legendary Bill brewery alive.
The beer from Bill Brews is a skilful mix of Hamburg charm and Franconian brewing craftsmanship. The very first brew from Hamburg's newest brewery addition was a fine Viennese lager called Hamburger Prater and was developed by a well-known homebrewer from the Hanseatic city. His idea was implemented in the style of a classic Viennese lager and with the Saaz hop variety in the brewery in Billwerder. The team is currently working on a second brew for their range. The young brewery wants to breathe new life into Hamburg's beer-rich past and enrich the variety of beers in its homeland with a few examples. Because beer is a living cultural asset for Christian and his boys, you could book tours of the brewery before the first beer was released and experience the creation process from scratch. You can feel and taste the enthusiasm and dedication of Christian, Patrick and Marek in every corner of their brewery!
We're excited to see what else the Hamburg trio has in store for us!
