🇩🇪 German Week Melbourne from 18.10. - 01.11.

For us at Schnapps Idea, German Week is about much more than schnapps. It’s about celebrating the culture we grew up with and the little things that feel like home. ❤️

The food. The music. The traditions. The language. The long dinners with heaps of food, drinks and connection with friends. The very serious discussions about what counts as a real Schnapps.

We started Schnapps Idea to bring a little piece of our German home to Australia and German Week is a wonderful opportunity to share that culture with others.

You don’t have to be German to join in. You just need to be curious, hungry, and preferably not afraid of a little Prost! 🇩🇪🍻

Here’s to celebrating German culture in Melbourne - with all its traditions, quirks and wonderfully people.

Prost! Hope so see you there ❤️🇩🇪

Well... that one hurt. 💔🇩🇪

After yesterday’s nerve-wracking match, Germany’s World Cup journey has come to an end. The bottle is empty, our nerves are shot, and we needed a day to recover.

But having two hearts means there’s always another team to cheer for. 🇦🇺💚💛

So from here on, all fingers are crossed for the Socceroos as they head into the knockout stage. This time, with a fresh bottle ready to raise our glasses.

Auf geht’s Australia! 🇦🇺

Two hearts. Two jerseys. One bottle. ⚽🇦🇺🇩🇪🥃

For the next few weeks, we’ll be cheering for Germany and Australia.

Whatever happens on the pitch, we’ll be raising a glass to great football and good company.

Prost!

It was National Pear Week, and if you’ve followed us for a while, you’ll know we’re big pear fans. 🍐

Fresh pears, juicy pears, quirky-looking pears, pears that become delicious Pear Brandy… we love them all.

So here’s to one of our favourite fruits and the people who grow them. Cheers to National Pear Week! 🥃🍐

While we were busy making schnapps in Australia… some of us went on a little field trip to the Triberger Schinkenfest in the Black Forest. 🇩🇪

Because if you make traditional German schnapps, you occasionally have to check how traditions are doing back home…

Good news:
The Trachten (traditional costumes) are still fabulous, the bands still loud, the ham still delicious - and schnapps still very necessary. 🥃
