Berlin tastes like barley
Bypassing the traditional Brauhaus , which usually produce their own beer and do tend to follow the law of purity, practically in every neighborhood of the German capital you can find some craft brewery in which to taste new beers: with a greater or lesser degree of alcohol, aromatic or with fruit flavors... A whole world of flavors and colors that opens before our beer palate that we explore neighborhood by neighborhood.
