Compared to the ubiquitous Schultheiss Eckkneipe which dominated Neukölln a couple of decades ago, craft beer took a while to make a beachhead. If the cheapest prices and a bog standard Pils are what counts, you should probably give this place a miss. If however you like the idea of 9 beers on draught and more bottled, then this is definitely worth your time. You can taste before you order if you're not sure: on this winter evening I tried their spiced ale "Lebkuchen" (not to everyone's taste); Wet-Hopped IPA (which was so popular it sold out before the end of the evening); and finally a very good Irish stout wittily named "Schwarzfahrer".
It's not large and filled up by 8pm, so might be an idea to reserve a table or get here when they open. No sign of food other than crisps.
We'll be back. Beer heaven! read more
