Secure your ticket now

A holiday as it should be! When fire meets world champion, when premium meat falls on glowing coal, and when the elite of the BBQ scene gathers in Dagobertshausen, it's clear: This is about real barbecue.

 

On May 1st, the Hofgut becomes a fire arena. Europe's largest rotation smoker makes its rounds. Half a ton of steel glows in the Hydra Grill. High-end technology, honest craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality meet passion, smoke, and pure energy.

 

Craft Beer, Whiskey & Wine

The right drink belongs to the BBQ. Look forward to a Craft Beer Experience with IPA, Bavaria Ale, and Bock, as well as whiskey cocktails and selected wines that perfectly harmonize with the aromas of smoke and embers.
