Just stuff that caught my eye
 |
 |
|
| Early morning Berlin | A toilet centre? | |
 |
 |
|
| Not a chippy in the conventional sense | Rathaus – Spandau | |
 |
 |
|
| Brauhaus Mitte | Their Pils, also with a slightly yeasty taste | |
 |
 |
|
| Brauhaus Lemke | The Dunkel, a solid drink |
And of course more beer
Bauhaus in Spandau is a must

If you want a quality brew
 |
 |
|
| The master brewer at work – Christian | More hops | |
 |
 |
|
| Boiling | The remains of filtering |
And they can’t make it fast enough
