Brauhaus Georgbraeu

Since 1992, the family-run Georgbraeu brewery on the Spree riverbank in the Nikolaiviertel has been brewing its unfiltered light and dark beers according to the German Purity Law, plus seasonal beers from Maibock to Pale Ale. Both standard varieties are only available here at the brewery. Among Berlin's breweries, it boasts the most beautiful terrace by the water, along with Eisbein and Haxe from the kitchen.

Georgbraeu Brewery: since 1992 in Nikolaiviertel

Georgbraeu Brewery is a family business and has been brewing directly on the Spree riverbank in the Nikolaiviertel since 1992, named after the St. George’s statue right next door. According to the German Purity Law of 1516, two standard beers are produced: an unfiltered light lager, bottom-fermented, with Hallertau bitter and aroma hops, around five percent alcohol and an original gravity between 11.5 and 12.5 percent, and an unfiltered dark beer with dark roasted malt, a roasty-caramel note and similar alcohol content. Both varieties are exclusively available here at the brewery, with around 1,500 hectoliters produced annually.

Seasonal Beers, Eisbein, and Terrace on the Spree

In addition, special beers are available throughout the year, from Märzen with 5.7 percent and Callista hops, a summer wheat and a Maibock, to Bernstein-Bock with 6.4 percent and a Pale Ale with Mandarina Bavaria and Cascade. The kitchen sticks to the Berlin tradition: Eisbein for 19.50 Euros, pork schnitzel for 19.80 Euros, braised pork hock for 21.50 Euros, and half a roast duck for 25.30 Euros. The dining area is spread across eight differently designed rooms, and outside you can sit on the terrace directly on the Spree. Bottled beer is also available for takeaway.
