A paradise on earth for Craft Beer lovers, BRLO Brwhouse, on the edge of the Park am Gleisdreieck in Berlin is a combination of brewery, bar, restaurant and beer garden. The Brwhouse, which consists of 38 recycled shipping containers, celebrated its official opening in January 2017 and is the latest chapter in a story that […]
The combination of a large leafy beer garden and menu of hearty comfort food makes Braumanufaktur Forsthaus Templin ideal in summer and winter alike. The Forsthaus Templin, the forester’s house near the edge of the Templiner See (Lake Templin), has served as a restaurant and beer garden since 1834. In its heyday the beer garden […]
The guys at Berliner Berg are hoping to tap into the unquenchable thirst for craft beer in Berlin. The slogan (paraphrasing former GDR leader Walter Ulbricht) reads “No one has the intention to erect a brewery in Berlin” but that is exactly what they are hoping to do with the funds from their Startnext crowdfunding campaign.

Grüne Woche (International Green Week) is a massive food, agriculture and horticulture exhibition held for the 80th time in 2015 at Messe Berlin.

Here are my May highlights from Berlin as illustrated by the photos I took with my phone. Some of these photos have appeared in my Twitter feed, on my Facebook page or my Instagram account. Early in May I went back to Burger de Ville and tried the Funky Pommes, which come drizzled in Garlic […]
Schmankerl-Hüttn is an Austrian ski hut themed bar and restaurant at the Winterwelt am Potsdamer Platz, open from 10:00 every day until 6 January 2013, which has an Aprés-Ski-Party every night 19:00 to 24:00. A night out at Schmankerl-Hüttn is all about Schlager, which is the kind of cheesy pop music that you would hear […]
A little over a week ago, Berlin hosted the 16th International Berlin Beer Festival (Internationales Berliner Bierfestival) with the theme ‘Beers of the region of the Baltic Sea’. In 2011 the festival set a Guinness World Record for the longest beer garden in the world at 1,820 metres. This year the Beer Mile (sic) was 2.2 […]
As well as being an oasis of calm in the heart of Berlin and a great place to lay in the grass and catch some sun, the Tiergarten is home to two of my favourite outdoor drinking spots in Berlin. Walking around such a huge park can be very thirsty work and the Biergärten […]
