Beer Tasting Paddle in Amberg: Experience Beer Culture on the Vils
Amberg showcases its rich beer culture where the city appears especially atmospheric: on the water. During the beer tasting paddle on May 19, 2027, you will glide through the historic old town from the Ship Bridge and discover Amberger beer from an unusual perspective. Accompanied by a beer expert, you will learn interesting facts about the regional brewing tradition and taste selected beer specialties right on board.
A Floating Beer Tasting with a View of the Old Town
The one-hour paddle boat trip starts and ends at the Ship Bridge. The flat, traditional boat follows the Vils and combines nature experience, city history, and enjoyment. While historical facades, bridges, and the water of the Vils create the backdrop, the beer city of Amberg takes center stage.
Close-Up of Amberger Brewing Tradition
With six active breweries, Amberg rightfully calls itself a beer city. On board, a brewer personally presents Amberger beer and provides insights into varieties, aromas, and regional beer culture. This makes the tasting an authentic discovery experience filled with local knowledge and stories from the Upper Palatinate.
Beer, Snacks, and a Special Atmosphere
Guests receive three small breads with various spreads during the beer tasting. The combination of regional beer, hearty snacks, and a peaceful boat ride through the old town creates an enjoyable atmosphere for beer lovers and anyone who wants to experience Amberg in a different way.
Important Notes for Your Visit
The paddle boat trip lasts about an hour and takes place even in rain unless a weather-related cancellation occurs. The boarding at the Ship Bridge is not barrier-free; due to space limitations, strollers, walkers, and wheelchairs cannot be brought on board. Due to the offered alcoholic beverages and food, the trip is not suitable for youth under 16 years of age. Tickets must be booked in advance; no remaining tickets are available on site.
Conclusion: The beer tasting paddle combines an atmospheric trip on the Vils with regional brewing art, Upper Palatinate snacks, and exciting insights into the beer city of Amberg. Secure your ticket in time and experience beer culture, old town, and water during a special evening of enjoyment.
