Amberger Beer Rafting 2026: An hour of beer enjoyment on the Vils

Beer on the Vils: The Amberger Beer Rafting becomes a moment of enjoyment

When the historic wooden raft departs from the landing stage at Schiffbrücke, a multi-day experience in miniature begins: an hour of festival atmosphere on the water. A brewer from Amberg presents his beers, freshly poured, along with a hearty snack. Open-air acoustics, gentle splashing, city wall panorama – this tour combines beer culture, craftsmanship, and community spirit.

Craft meets River Romance

Experience the beer city of Amberg with six active breweries from a new perspective. On board, the accompanying brewer guides through varieties, raw materials, and brewing processes. Between city spectacles, gabled houses, and bridge arches unfolds a side stage of the senses: hop aromas, wood underfoot, the Vils as a natural backdrop.

Route, Process, Organization

Start and end are directly at the Schiffbrücke in Schiffgasse. The festival organization is handled by the Tourist Information Amberg. Public dates are strictly limited; on 26.08.2026, the Kummert brewery will accompany the tasting. Tickets are available exclusively in advance.

Line-up in the Glass: Kummert Brewery

Instead of a stage act, the brewing tradition is the focus this evening: Kummert from Amberg brings characterful beers, explains styles, and provides insights into the lager cellar and recipe philosophy. A small snack will also be served.

Interesting Facts for Your Multi-Day Program

The beer rafting can be perfectly combined with a weekend in Amberg: old town flair, culinary delights, brewery tours, and excursions to the boathouse. Plan arrival and departure relaxed, as there are no evening sales of remaining tickets on site.
