Yankee & Kraut is a microbrewery based in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany, founded by Bryan France and Max Senner. The name itself reflects the transatlantic partnership at the heart of the brewery: one American, one German, combining two brewing cultures into a single, boundary-pushing craft beer project. Located in the heart of Bavaria, a region traditionally known for its lager heritage, Yankee & Kraut charts its own course in the modern craft beer movement. The brewery's portfolio leans heavily into hop-forward and experimental styles, with a strong emphasis on New England IPAs, double IPAs, and pastry stouts. Beers like Octo Allover, a 6.5% NEIPA, and collaborations such as Raging Heisl, a double IPA, showcase the brewery's affinity for bold, juicy, and innovative brewing. Yankee & Kraut is also known for brewing and canning beers for other craft labels, including projects for Blech Brut, demonstrating their role as a versatile contract and collaborative brewer within the European craft scene. Collaboration appears to be a defining characteristic of Yankee & Kraut's identity. The brewery has partnered with multiple breweries and brands, including Ale Mania, producing releases such as New Kids More Turbo, a 7.8% double NEIPA. Their beers are distributed internationally and can be found in craft beer specialty shops across Europe.
