There are twelve taps also featuring a couple of guests. The first brews are done on the premises.  Once established, brews are done at the larger plant in Spandau.

Located in Prenzlauerberg in the north of Berlin, Bräugier, which opened on April 29, 2019, became an instant favourite venue. They had the range of Bier being sought and the personalities staffing the bar made for a perfect experience. In the summer of 2019 it was firstly Brian the founder, then Johannes the co-founder who gave the memorable nights. 

Don’t be a stranger, sit at the bar, get involved. Brian, and often Colin, are here to make your visit memorable.

Food is not served, feel free to bring it in from surrounding cafes.

O’saft Is  6.2%

DDH NEIPA, milkshake haze but not the full milkshake flavour.

The root lactose (?) taste was there, dry and hoppy, a perfect Bier to kick things off.

Complex Matter   7.1%

NEIPA

Light in colour with a hint of – milkshake – the flavour was full on. With body and hops this was wonderful, no it was better than that, exactly what I was seeing in terms of flavour, body…

Azacca/Columbus   4.9%

Yellow, clear, not a lot happened here. At least it was dry tasting, not the – hops in face – hoped for.

Tropical notes of pineapple and grapefruit.

Eldorado, Citra and Hallertau hops.

Exactly what one presently seeks.

After Teutonic, it lacked the hops.

Favourite of the staff, a change from the above.

*

*

Science Project v1.1*  4.7%

If this was 10.5%, it would be dynamic. Still, a more than decent Bier, with coffee but no chocolate flavours.

A session Bier.

Third Barrel Brewing (Ireland)

#Verboten  7.5%

Cold IPA

Yellow haze, good body, not fruity.   There was a distinctive roundedness of hops on the palate. Strangely, as served in February 2022, it could have been served colder.

*

Affengeil  5.4%  Vagabund (Berlin)

Yellow with a comparatively light haze, the Bier tasted thin.

Some sense of bananas, but tasted closer to Weihenstephan than Kloster Andechs.

Grape based instead of hops

Still comes across as hoppy, but not as intense

*

*

I know there’s no possibility of Brett at this brewery, however, that was the aftertaste that came across.

Colin and Ryan, we know Ryan is a brewer…
