The Hof Schlappenbier will soon no longer come from Hof. The organizers of the Schlappentag want to maintain their cooperation with the Scherdel brewery, even though its Hof site is due to close at the end of 2026 for economic reasons. The beer for the Schlappentag will then be brewed in Neuensalz in the Vogtland district of Saxony.
The Privilegierte Scheiben-Schützen-Gesellschaft in Hof (PSSG), the organizer of the Schlappentag, explained that this decision was not taken lightly. Especially as a brewery based in Hof had also applied to brew the special beer in future. They are convinced that the Schlappenbier will continue to meet the high standards in the future despite the new brewing location, they said.
