Berlin Trip : Brewdog Berlin Mitte

I’m still making my way around all the Brewdog bars I can find and I thought I’d pop in for a quick drink at this large venue in the centre of the German capital. The service was a little sluggish, but it was polite and friendly so that did for me. There’s plenty of seating downstairs, but there’s also an upstairs area as well so there should usually be plenty of space. The pub, or at least one of the staff, also seems to own a large fluffy dog which I thought looked rather sweet meandering around the place. The beer menu was pretty extensive, although I had already had most of their guest beers, but I’d add that’s not a complaint about the bar…..

I tried the Hoppy Xmas that Brewdog themselves brew, but I wasn’t getting much Christmas from it, although it had a hoppy front and a bitter back. The beer that I did go for was the Arcade Made, also brewed by Brewdog, which was punchy, hoppy, foggy and a bit dank, very much a decent fruity one.

I did consider getting a pizza, but I thought with the number of restaurants in the area that I’d find something a bit more local and I was pleased with my choice. It’s well reviewed on-line with most customers happy with the operation, but there are a limited number of craft beer options in the city and so there’s a different dynamic here compared to some other Brewdog locations around the world. Nice set-up, I can see why this bar is popular and I suspect that it will continue to be busy.
