Berlin Craft Beer and Brewery Tour
Germans are famous for their beer, and for good reason. In fact, Germany’s laws on what qualifies as beer are more than 300 years older than the country itself! One hundred years ago Berlin had more breweries than any other city on the planet.
Berlin’s beer scene is back, with a vengeance.
Thus we send out a call to all hopheads, beer freaks, and those with humble respect for a nice cold beverage, to come and bathe in Berlin’s beer history and soak up (responsibly, of course) the burgeoning craft beer scene.
We’ll sample brews from all over the town at three different bars, whilst munching on a big, fat, salty pretzel and chatting about the mechanics of beer and beer tasting; Germany’s spiritual connection with malt, hops, water and yeast; Berlin’s rocky road to craft beer kingship; and more.
Itinerary
Brandenburg Gate Museum
Walk through the gateways of Berlin’s most iconic monument and find out what makes the Gate the most important cultural monument in Germany.
Reichstag Building
Stand in the shadow of the German parliament building, burned down after Hitler’s rise to power, now a bold symbol of modern German democracy.
The Holocaust Memorial – Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
Journey through the iconic concrete stellae, bear witness to the atrocities of National Socialism, and hear the stories of the everyday bravery of the persecuted.
Topography of Terror
See the dark heart of Nazi Germany at the former headquarters of the SS and Gestapo. See the excavated torture cells, and come face-to-face with the Cold War’s most brutal symbol: The Berlin Wall.
Checkpoint Charlie
Cross the border at the frontline of the Cold War, where spies roamed and US and Soviet tanks faced off in 1961.
Hitler’s Bunker (Fuhrerbunker)

Drive through the lush greenery of Berlin’s vast central park and see various embassies on the Tiergartenstraße, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the Memorial for Victims of the National Socialist Euthanasia Program.

Catch the sun glinting off the golden angel Victoria, goddess of victory, as you circle around Prussia’s emphatic monument to its triumphs in the Wars of Unification.
