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.

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

#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)

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