Berlin
Cradled by student housing, this earthy microbrewery is a beloved neighbourhood spot with a woodsy cellar pub and chestnut-canopied beer garden. Aside from traditional unfiltered pilsner, dark beer and wheat beer (March to October), it also produces seasonal beers and homemade fruit brandies. Flammkuchen (Alsatian pizza) is served, but you’re also free to bring your own picnic.
Look for signs coming from Triftstrasse.
