After the successful first Krombacher fan tour to Dortmund last season, in which over 200 Lilien fans took part, our partner is now offering a very special trip for the away game of SV Darmstadt 98 at FC Schalke 04. The Krombacher Fan Tour will take you on Friday (September 20th) morning from Darmstadt to Krombach for a brewery tour including tasting and from there on to the Arena at Schalke, where the Lilies will be guests of the Royal Blues on matchday 6. You can find all information about the Krombacher Fan Tour in this message.
The first stop of the Krombacher Fantour, which starts from Darmstadt, is in Krombach. Participants can tour the Krombacher brewery, including a visit to the brewery and consumption of the Krombacher triad consisting of Krombacher Pils, Westphalian ham and the Krombacher Braustubenbrot. Of course, you can also try all other products from the Krombacher brewery (including non-alcoholic ones) without limit. We then continue to the Lilies‘ away game at Schalke 04. After the game, we travel by bus back to Darmstadt.
Refreshments: Plenty of drinks (including non-alcoholic) from Krombacher are provided. These are provided free of charge. Please bring your own food and snacks.
