A taste of tradition

The city of Dargun is placed in the heart of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region in the Northeastern part of Germany.

Back in 1172, Danish monks settled in the city of Dargun and started brewing beer. To honor these roots, 29th of May 1991, on a green meadow, Darguner Brauerei GmbH was established in the same city.

Darguner beers are all based on the best raw materials. In the brewing process we use the local water originating from deep sources in Mecklenburg’s underground, which provides the right basis for our Darguner beers.

 

More than 800 years of brewing history

Danish monks settled in the city of Dargun in 1172 and laid the foundation for the premium beer today known as Darguner

Premium beers from the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Darguner beers are all based on the best raw materials

Strong German Heritage

Nestled in the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the city of Dargun is placed in the Northeastern part of Germany.

Unlike many other countries and regions, the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern area has a huge variety of natural wells and water sources – in fact it is called, the land of thousand lakes. That is why the water we use for brewing has a carefully selected taste of its own and contributes to the unique character of each beer.

One of the most famous monuments is the monastery’s brewery from 1172. The monastery was founded by Danish monks, who settled in the city of Dargun and began brewing beer with the use of the local ingredients.

The art of brewing

Maybe you haven’t heard of the Purity Law from 1516. Actually, Darguner beers are brewed in accordance to this law which ensures that no other ingredients than barley, hops, water and eventually yeast and wheat are used in the beer brewing process.

The Reinheitsgebot was proclaimed by William the IV, Duke of Bavaria, in 1516. The reason was first and foremost the health of the German nation to preserve the necessary ingredients to bake enough bread, the Duke imposed restrictions on the usage of wheat and rye only to be used for bread.

It may seem like an outdated law but we like to hold on to the authentic traditions in maintaining the right taste of Darguner.

Award winning brewery

The German Agricultural Association (Deutsche Landwirtschaftsgesellschaft – DLG), whose standards are the toughest in the beer market has recognized our quality. During 20 years of participation in the DLG competition, we have managed to bring home a huge number of awards.

Every year we receive the DLG price for longtime product quality. In 2016 our brewery received the Award of Excellence „Bundesehrenpreis“ in the DLG Quality Test for beer. It is the highest honor that a German food company can receive for its quality.

We will continue improving the brewing of Darguner beers on the basis of the historical traditions.
