Vagabund is located in the – garden suburb – of Wedding, an area that has come a long way in the second decade of this century. It is only a couple of blocks from the must visit – Eschenbräu – another house brewery. Vagabund occupies a unit in the middle of a residential block.
The premises are relatively small, and with only four taps, the choice is somewhat restricted. The APA became the Bier of choice on my visits, however, the more recent Juicy Bot (5.7%) should be worth checking out. In 2020, I found the Bindlestiff to be – horrible.
American Pale Ale 5.2%
APA Amber, flavours of New World hops, hit the spot

Double IPA 7.5%
DIPA Dark gold, hazy, full bodied, more New World hops, too easy to drink, dangerous.

Gold, full haze, this Bier has the sought after hops, however, something went drastically wrong, this Bier was – horrible. Cascade, Columbus and Centennial hops should provide the ingredients for something wonderful, not this.
