Brewberlin: The Big Berlin Beer Week Roundup<\/h3>\n

By Hannah Graves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Craft beer is officially A\u00a0Thing. It\u2019s not going anywhere, so it might be time to embrace it. The people behind Berlin Beer Week<\/strong>\u00a0insist\u00a0that they aren\u2019t hipsters intent on ruining booze for everyone, but instead want people to try something other than watery yellow piss beer – maybe something with actual flavour<\/em>.<\/p>\n

They want us to appreciate beer in Berlin, the same way we\u2019ve come to appreciate burgers. Who eats at McDonald’s when they know they can go to The Bird<\/a>? There are some seriously strong Berlin breweries and bars that do\u00a0what they do exceptionally well. So, whether you\u2019re a seasoned beer geek or someone just venturing into the world of craft beers, this week should be a good one.<\/p>\n

The Berlin Beer Week website<\/a> has a full run down of this\u00a0\u201ccelebration of beer culture\u201d, starting tomorrow!\u00a0And\u00a0here’s my pick\u00a0of the eventsI\u2019ll be attending over the week. Prost!<\/p>\n

The Opening Party<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been behind the scenes at a\u00a0brewery before, so will be taking the chance to snoop around Brauerei Lemke, where 10 Berlin brewers will be pouring their beers. This isn\u2019t one of the free events but the very reasonable ticket price does get you the Berlin Beer Week glass and two small beers. Beer bonus!<\/p>\n

Das Gift<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible that you MIGHT be a wee bit tipsy after that\u00a0opening party, and while there will be food trucks at the Brauerei, I\u2019d recommend getting to Das Gift. This Neuk\u00f6lln favourite is going to be serving up its famously good Scottish food<\/a> next to Scottish ales. Some dishes have been paired with matching beers, and I’ll be having the haggis!<\/p>\n

Sunday has long been my favourite day of the Berlin week, and I am more than happy to spend it eating barbeque. The bar with the speakeasy vibes is teaming up with Spice Spice Baby and the Berlin beer team on a bike, Flying Turtle, for some seriously summery vibes.<\/p>\n

Monterey Bar<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to be drunkenly throwing the horns after trying the Slayer beer at Monterey<\/a>, where they will be celebrating creative design and rock music in beer culture. Three local artists from Berlin’s street art scene will be creating original mockup labels live, accompanied by a rock and metal DJ set.<\/p>\n

\"Monterey<\/p>\n

Das Gift (AGAIN!)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This one was an easy decision to make.\u00a0Cake. Beer. Beer cake. \u201cA sculpture of cupcakes all made with craft ales as ingredients\u201d. SOLD.<\/p>\n

The Closing Party<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Apparently, Stone Brewing are a big deal, the people behind\u00a0beers with names like \u201cArrogant Bastard\u201d. Being cool, they want to have their bit of Berlin too, so this event will be held at the site of their future new brewery and restaurant. There is a mind-blowing list of beers on offer, as well as non-alcoholic drinks, food and music. Also, 100% of proceeds from the event will go to a local charity organisation, so you\u2019ll be drinking beer for a good cause.<\/p>\n

Good luck making it through seven days dedicated to beer. I\u2019m going to give it my best shot ???? There\u2019s SO MUCH going on, and for those who aren\u2019t allergic to physical activity, there is even climbing with craft beer (?), and walking tours and bike rides. Even if you just try a craft beer at some point this week, Berlin Beer Week will have been a big success.<\/p>\n
