Underground Dance Party Held Near Chimney: Balancing Ancient Customs and Modern Innovation in Dingle-Lick
In the heart of Stuttgart, a brewery with a rich history continues to thrive. The Dinkelacker brewery, founded by Carl Dinkelacker at the age of 26 in 1888, has remained at the same location for over 130 years. The brewery bears the initials of its founder, a testament to its origins.
The brewery, an industrial monument still owned by the family, has a 50-meter-high chimney that is still in operation. Deep tunnels bored into the Karlshöhe were constructed for brewing and storage, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past during tours.
The Dinkelacker brewery has a great tradition, with beers like Wulle being brewed again at Tübinger Straße in 2008. A Wulle tent is now present at the folk festival, adding a touch of history to the festivities.
In 1971, Dinkelacker merged with Wulle, and subsequent acquisitions included Sanwald in 1977 and Schwabenbräu in 1996. However, in 2003, the brewery became a majority shareholder of the InBev conglomerate. But in 2006, the family regained control, with Johann Dinkelacker repurchasing the company. Since then, Dinkelacker-Schwabenbräu GmbH & Co. KG has been an independent, family-owned company.
Stuttgart, once a wine city for centuries, was a place where beer was unwanted until Duke Eberhard III allowed brewing again. Today, the city is seeing a resurgence in beer culture, with Brewery Dinkelacker and future Wasenwirt Carsten Weller bringing this trend to Stuttgart.
Meanwhile, in Munich, a boom in new beer halls is catering to beer lovers. Yet, brewers nationwide are experiencing declining sales. Despite this, the Dinkelacker brewery continues to flourish, attracting a diverse crowd that includes ravers and engaging the younger generation.
Visitors can now see areas of the brewery that were previously inaccessible, such as where malt is delivered. These spaces have been repurposed for techno dancing by the younger generation, showcasing the brewery's ability to adapt while preserving its heritage.
Interestingly, subsequent generations of the Dinkelacker family have given their sons names starting with a C, a tradition that continues to this day. The Dinkelacker brewery stands as a testament to the family's dedication to their craft and their city, offering a unique blend of tradition and modernity that appeals to a wide audience.
In the coming weeks, Dinkelacker will perform at the second, sold-out Brewery Session of the StR.711 collective, further showcasing the coolness of beer and the enduring appeal of this timeless brewery.
