Hallertau

The Hallertau or Holledau is an area in Bavaria, Germany.

[1] According to the International Hop Growing Convention, Germany produces roughly one third of the world's hops (used as flavoring and stabilizers during beer brewing), over 80% of which are grown in the Hallertau.

Hallertau is roughly located between the cities of Ingolstadt, Kelheim, Landshut, Moosburg, Freising and Schrobenhausen.

The region is defined by the hop-planting area in Bavaria.
