“Brilliant tour Micheal was very knowledgable and friendly, he was very approachable and more than happy to answer any questions. The tour itself was thoroughly enjoyable, a good size group with varying nationalities made for a very fun evening. And of course the beer tasting was excellent, would have loved to try all 10 choices😂”

“La guida era ottima! Un ragazzo giovane, pieno di entusiasmo. Ci ha spiegato molto bene il processo di preparazione della birra con annessi, connessi e possibili inconvenienti. Molto bravo, molto preparato. Unica perplessità, la guida era un praticante della birreria, chi lo sostituirà quando avrà finito il Praktikum?”
Beer tasting in Berlin at Vagabund’s Kesselhaus brewery in a 100-year-old boiler house, with a guided tour and 5 craft beers.
“Had the best time at the vagabund braureri. We arrived 15 minutes early and were given a welcome beer, they were waiting on two other groups. We ended up starting a little late due to one of the groups being slightly delayed but that was fine cause it meant more time for another beer which was complintary. It ended up being a group of English, Irish (us) and Scottish which I thought was funny, as the joke goes. Joe our guide was great! Super easy going and fun and great at explaining the 7 different processes into craft beer. He also introduced us to Josh one of the brewers! We…”
