Privatbrauerei Schalander

After closing its location on Bänschstraße, Maximilian Lissek moved his tiny brewing system to House 9 on the RAW site in 2018. They brew a Pilsner, a Dark beer, and a Wheat beer, plus a special beer that alternates between a Cold-hopped, a Pale, and a Black beer. Among Berlin's breweries, this is one of the smallest and most unpretentious.

Schalander Private Brewery: Small Facility on the RAW Site

For nine years, Schalander was located on Bänschstraße until a 40 percent rent increase ended operations in November 2018. Maximilian Lissek moved on with the same brewing system and reopened in the same year in House 9 on the RAW site in Friedrichshain. The system has remained as tiny as at the old location, which has the advantage that special beers can be tried out without great risk. Brewing continues to be done by hand and in small quantities.

Pilsner, Dark, Wheat, and Rotating Special Beers

The standard range consists of a Pilsner, a Dark beer, and a Wheat beer, plus the Schalander Special, which alternates between cold-hopped, pale, and black beer. It is served in the taproom of House 9, where the brewing system is also located, or outside in the beer garden in the middle of the RAW site behind Warschauer Straße station. Card payment is possible. If you are coming with a larger group, it is best to register by phone in advance, as there is no online reservation system here.
