About this media
Hopfenhelden is the first online magazine dedicated to craft beer in Germany. Founded in October 2013 by journalist and beer sommelier Nina Anika Klotz, it has become the leading German-language resource on craft beer. Its motto: "Wer mehr weiß, trinkt besser" (Those who know more, drink better).
Since 2022, the magazine has been managed by Bierothek, a Bamberg-based network of specialist craft beer shops. The founding spirit remains intact: in-depth articles about brewers, styles, and beer culture, written in an accessible and engaging tone. Klotz also published two books: "99 x Craft Beer" and "Von wegen hell & süffig".
