Berlin’s newest craft beer bar, Hopfenreich, was opened in the summer of 2014 by the organizers of the Berlin Bier Fest. The bar, located in a former restaurant in Kreuzberg’s Wrangelkiez, features 15 thoughtfully curated taps of craft beer (the largest draught selection in Berlin), plus a handful of bottles sourced primarily from within Germany. If you’re looking for a simple lager or wheat beer, they’ll have that too, although it will come from an indie brewery you may not know. The real attraction, however, is the IPAs, porters and saisons that you just won’t find elsewhere in Berlin. Between the extensive selection and the decent music on the stereo (every bit as indie as the beers), Hopfenreich is a place where devoted beer-heads and casual drinkers alike can spend a pleasant evening.
