I went on the 65 minute English language brewery tour on a Saturday afternoon. Jürgen was our tour…read moreguide and he did a great job. In addition to other guests, there was a group of 12 guys who were on a bachelor party. I'm mentioning this because they were very disruptive but that's not Jürgen's fault and he did his best with the situation. There is a brewing room that you walk through with explanations of the different stages of the beer brewing process. In the back is a tasting room and most of the tour took place there. We all sat around a table while the guide poured and explained the beers. There appears to be a slideshow and we looked at some of the slides that identified the three beers we tried but I think because the slides were in German, we didn't see the full presentation. The tour was a nice diversion and although I have been on many brewery tours, I still learned something from this one, particularly about German beer. After the tour, your hand stamp gets you a discount in the gift shop.

Now THIS is more like it. Outstanding pilsners, quality food, and luckily for me, a staff that…read morewent out of their way to speak English. Sit at the bar to take advantage of the ice cold beer tray, which will help keep your half liter chilled. Try out the sausages and fresh baked bread, and hit the craft beer shop on the way out.

Such a cool spot in Hamburg for some tasty craft beers. They have tons of seating - both indoors…read moreand outdoors, and it almost always fills up during their opening hours. I just wish they had longer opening hours and were also open on the weekend! Also, offering beers in larger quantities would be nice as well, instead of getting up and walking to the counter to order a new one frequently :) Hamburg (and Germany in general) needs more places like this for sure!

OK, it's settled. Next time I go out for a really satisfying beer in Hamburg, it's Circle 8…read more Why? Because the nascent craft brew scene in the Hansestadt suffers from two problems: 1) fear of alienating German lager drinkers by serving them up something too genuinely flavorful; and, 2) creating weak, flawed, amateurish versions of pale ales, IPAs, et cetera because they just aren't very good at it. Circle 8 does NOT suffer from these failings. The black IPA I had there, was probably the best I've ever had. It was lush, lively, complex, rich, balanced, and at the same time wonderfully unique. Hands down, a winner. The Citra Blonde had lovely citra character, and some real assertiveness too - - also lush and rich - - this is REAL brewing - - real hand-crafted care - - and the beers go the distance. The 5-grain I had was a bit jarring at first, because it is is also a no-compromise flavor conveyor, but I came to appreciate it over the course of the glass. The owners are delightful; they have a dedicated local following (which they fully deserve); the hours are limited (4p-8p Mon-Friday) so you have to time your visit, but it is totally worth the while. A lushness, richness, flavor oasis in what is otherwise a tepid sea of craft beer mediocrity in Hamburg. You could call it a "geheimtipp" (secret recomendation) but I hope it doesn't stay that way for long. It's a two block walk from U-bahn Alsterdorf, and a pretty little bahn trip up through Eppendorf, and a joyous little stroll, it totally is.
