The…read moreatmosphere is good, even though seating is somewhat limited (not by the number of tables but by how popular it is) and I like that there is a separate smoking room. The beers are always very solid, tasty brews; not the most unique styles but they satisfy my craft beer cravings. The menu also includes some small food plates (I haven't tried them yet) and some liquor and non-alcoholic drinks. If you like whiskey, they have a few good options for pretty cheap prices. I think I had a double of Glen 12 for €4? A definite must if you're a beer lover in Friedrichshain!

This is my first review on Yelp. I have been more of a lurker here but now I need to write a review…read moreas part of an assignment. Which assignment you ask? Well, that's a secret. I came here with bunch of colleagues after an event. It was a good place overall that offered a huge variety of beers. It also had a nice deodorant in the bathroom that I made good use of. Everybody in my team enjoyed it. It's a shame I didn't come here before as it was walking distance from my house. Anyway, here is a pic for you. This might not be the best pic but it's the only one I could find where I was not completely wasted. Someone in our group was sensible enough to take a pic before we started drinking. That's one of the reasons I decided to review this place actually.

On summer, they have a place for people to barbecue and make fire. On wintertime its cozy indoors. The orange lighting give a particular atmosphere to the whole place, sometimes it makes me feel as if I was in some sort of medieval castle. The staff is really friendly, the beer is good. UPDATE: you can now grill outside, so in summer come prepared.

We had some time to kill while wandering around Berlin so why not drink some craft brew. I hadn't…read moreintended on stopping here but when I found them on Yelp, it looked like my kind of place. A tiny beer garden tucked away in the Market. It's not the easiest place to find since it's the only place in the market that's not out in the forefront. The best way for me to give a navigational tip is that if you're looking at the toilet area, do an about face and head to Heidenpeters. It's literally 180° from there. Their Mosaic session IPA blew me away and I wanted more. Unfortunately they were not able to break a €50 bill so I was only able to sample one additional brew. I went with the Pale and it was okay. Pretty standard if a bit sweet. I would have loved to try more for sure. I felt bad using all change to pay for my beer but it's not as if I didn't have any money. So of course I sent my lovely wife to do the deed. The beertender informed her that they don't ordinarily take change but she made an exception. So I suppose you should bring your card or small bills if you intend to have a few brews here.

It seems as though I had Heidenpeters built up far too much in my head before finally making my way…read morethere, because it wasn't as mindblowingly awesome as I had hoped. For one, there was only a pale ale on tap, when I was hoping for more variety. The taste was very pale ale-y, with a hoppier edge, but it wasn't necessarily stand-out or distinctive. I mean, I love my American microbrews and was hoping his would be a bit more distinct in flavor than the standard pilsner beers regularly available here. Additionally, the service was slooowwwww. I guess that's what you get for visiting on a night like Street Food Thursday, so I can't complain too much, but even so, my wait for food was shorter than this. Also, the fact that I had to stand in line for five minutes to return my glass for Pfand was kind of frustrating, but that's just part of the deal, I suppose. Of course, this review is not the be-all end-all, and I am looking forward to returning, perhaps on a Friday, when the atmosphere is more relaxed and hopefully there are a couple choices on tap. I would really like to give Heidenpeters a four or five-star review, so here's hoping that my first experience was just a fluke.

Compared to the ubiquitous Schultheiss Eckkneipe which dominated Neukölln a couple of decades ago,…read morecraft 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!

Regarding delicious beers, I ordered the Dunkel and my husband ordered a Pilsner. My Dunkel was delicious and STRONG.......I will leave this part for the end of the review. My husband enjoyed his pilsner. This is one of those places that is like a Keller type setting since you are a bit underground like in a grotto. You can easily visit with folks at the tables next to you if they seem open to it. We visited with an interesting couple from New Zealand and it just made the evening even more idyllic. We ordered the bavarian veal sausage with fresh pretzel and sweet mustard, the fraconian grilled sausages with homemade sauerkraut, and the black lentil salad with celery. When I say every single thing I ate was perfection......I mean it. It fulfilled my dreams of eating actual German food in Germany! I have already searched AI and Pinterest for a dupe of that salad. It was so refreshing and delicious with a nice vinegary bite to cut the richness of the sausages. The veal sausage was my favorite with the most amazing delicate flavor. Hey there, restaurant/brewhouse with the longest name ever......we will meet again. I think I might have been saying something similar as my husband sweetly guided my weaving self down the sidewalk after that strong Dunkel!

The restaurant is very small and quaint. It is definitely a spot for locals that we were fortunate enough to have been led to. It is the German equivalent of a tapas bar. After some deliberation, we turned the menus back over to our hostess (who I also believe was a co-owner of the restaurant) and simply asked if they would bring out a couple of each item on the sampler menu and a few of the five or six main entrées that we wanted to try. That begin about an hour of culinary experience not to be forgotten. There is no better way to experience German cuisine! Each of the menu items was wonderful and different and it's own unique way. We tried six or seven different types of sausage a variety of pickled vegetables, regional cheeses and other delicacies all served with a variety of great homemade bread. Although absolutely stuffed, we couldn't resist dessert, so we did the same thing, ordered one of each and shared everything. Portion sizes are small, as you would expect from a tapas bar, the the food quality was exceptional! The prices were reasonable and the environment was great.

Uh uh. A group of friends and I came in here today to seek a little refuge from the Karnival (crazy, but awesome, btw) here in Berlin. We ordered the Brauhaus' brews: the Weiß, Dunkel, and Helles. None of them were particularly good. Not the worst, but certainly not as enjoyable as other small-batch brews I've had here in Deutschland. For instance, I couldn't even finish half of my Weiß...and I'm usually the first to finish ANY weiß-style beer. Meh. I ordered food, and man, my plate was lackluster, too. The "Braumeisterschnitzel" was a breaded, flattened pork cutlet in a pepper sauce. The dish came with "bratkartoffeln" (which were really just huge, peeled, SCALDING potatoes) and I ordered a side of rotkohl (red cabbage, still not sure what the difference is from "blaukraut") because well, I love that stuff. The schnitzel was tougher than most I've had--maybe it was a bit overcooked? The potatoes were clandestinely steamy, which resulted in mouthburn. Okay, yeah, mybad. The rotkohl was okay--not anywhere NEAR as awesome as the red cabbage I could.have.eaten.all.day in Munich. Meh. Disappointing. Oh, and our group ordered another round of beers, which after nearly a half hour didn't come. At that point, we didn't want them anyway. At least they didn't charge us. You are SO seriously better off not coming here.

I came here to do a beer brewing course conducted by Thorsten Schoppe, a man who looks more at home…read morein a dojo than a brewery. However, looks can be deceiving as this gentleman really knows his stuff. The course was quite interesting and it was even more interesting to hear the (long detailed) questions asked by the other attendees (Germans take their beers very seriously). So I actually learnt quite a lot. Lunch was also provided and it was pretty ordinary - what one would expect from any kneipe in Berlin. The place is quite big, with a stage for live music, so it looks like a happening sort of place in the evenings and weekends. Well, I have now concocted my own beer recipe (thanks to Thorsten's expert guidance) and all I now need is an empty basement to make my brew... By the way, we were compelled to sample the beers here and the general verdict was that it's "nicht schlecht", which, as it came from German beer pros, translates roughly in English to "damn bloody good - gissus another!".
