The 10 best brewhouses in Berlin

Home-brewed beer, hearty home cooking and long wooden tables where you quickly get talking: a good brewhouse is more than a pub. In Berlin, many places are working with their own brew again, and in some you can even watch the brewmasters over their shoulder as they mash and lauter. The Brauhaus in Spandau attracts with a quaint atmosphere and its own beer, while Brauhaus Suedstern in Kreuzberg unites brewery, beer garden and restaurant under one roof. Craft beer fans get their money's worth at Lemke am Schloss in Charlottenburg. We tasted pils and dark beer, inspected the head and tested the beer gardens. Which beer tastes best fresh from the kettle?

For me, freshly brewed beer has a charm all its own that no bottled beer can reach. For this list I tried my way through lagers, dark beers and seasonal specialty brews and paid attention to what makes a good brewhouse: a cleanly brewed beer with character, a hearty kitchen that suits the beer, a lovely beer garden for warm evenings and hosts who can tell you about their craft.
