September: Berlin Beer Week
Hops, malt and water: at first glance, beer is a fairly simple affair - and yet every beer unfolds its very special taste. At Berlin Beer Week you can celebrate this diversity. For ten days a year, beer is the number one talk of the town in Berlin: brewers, traders and beer lovers come together here to talk about brewing methods and fermentation times.
Taste your way through the many different beers. What do you fancy: more traditional or more modern? Hoppy, tart or drinkable? Full-bodied or tangy? Find your favourite and exchange ideas with the brewers about the taste details of the individual beers.
The events are as unusual as the brewing methods. For example, you can taste your beer in a pop-up beer garden, go to a Beerlesque show, take part in a show brewing or let yourself be sailed over the Spree while you enjoy it, for example if you book a beer tasting on a steamer.
In addition, every year you can try the official festival beer that the participating locations serve. So there are plenty of incentives at Beer Week for a tasty trip to Berlin.
Berlin Beer Week 2024 will take place from 30 August to 8 September.
