Hurray, hurray - summer is here! And with it, life is moving into the Ruhr region.

👉 And because summer is also beer garden time, we have a little "beer garden by the water" guide for you! 🍺

So pack your sunglasses and look forward to a month full of good vibes and events that make you want to get outside! ☀️
