The experience
You'll taste more beers on this tour than on any other Berlin beer tour: nine craft brews ranging from classic German lagers to experimental styles, pulled from three local microbreweries and brewpubs. The tastings are small to full-sized pours, so you're not just sipping. You're actually drinking. A homemade snack rounds out the tasting, with vegetarian and vegan options available. The guide is a local who speaks English and knows the neighborhood's history: both the beer-brewing tradition that runs through German culture and the specific story of how Friedrichshain became what it is today.
The route takes you through the hidden streets of the former East Berlin district, past the street art that covers the walls and into RAW Gelände, a sprawling cultural complex built on what used to be a railway repair yard. You'll walk through a historical area once occupied by squatters and cultural dissidents, where the alternative scene still thrives. The tour lasts three hours and covers the neighborhood on foot, so comfortable shoes matter. Non-alcoholic beers, cider and wine are available if you want to skip the alcohol, and the guide will point you toward other places worth visiting once the tour ends.
Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to taste more craft beers than any other Berlin beer tour offers while learning the neighborhood's history from someone who lives there: the three-hour pace and local guide are what make the tastings and the street art fit together instead of feeling rushed.
