2nd stop is a Berlin craft beer institution. You can’t say you’ve done craft in Berlin if you haven’t been to Hopfenreich!
Delighted to finally see Fuerst Wiacek on tap, so naturally went for that, as well as a great stout from Gorilla (love their tagline - “No beer for Nazis”!)

It’s Saturday night and I’m still in Berlin, so after dinner we’ve come for some beers - firstly at Heidenpeters. It’s part of a food market, most stalls closed by the time we get there, except for their bar located right beside a large FV. I went for two beers, both very nice!

This evenings beers were taken at Manifest Taproom, where I had 3 beers from Protokoll (Tactile Poetics, Hysterical Strength, and Little Red Corvette) and Heidenpeters Stout. Four really good beers in a nice space.

I’ve enjoyed my first day in Berlin. I say “day” but by the time I’d cleared the 45 min passport control queue (thx Brexit!) & missed a train to the centre because we were waiting too far up the platform to notice that the train had arrived, it was 3:30 when we got to the hotel.

This beer pairs just as well with fajitas at home as it does with movies at the cinema!

I had a great afternoon at Brewpoint today, recording a podcast episode with @beerwithtim.bsky.social, having a tour of the brewery, and sampling several of their beers - six after the tour and three over some lunch. Really impressed with the beers.

This evening I’m in Brighton to see ABC at the Brighton Centre. A visit to The Hole in the Wall was a must, with a couple of beers from Deya and Anspach and Honday. Then a nightcap of Stone Brewing Arrogant Bastard at the The Evening Star on the way back to the station.

I’ve had the day off as we got back from Venice late last night. In between cinema visits (Bugonia first, then 1982’s The Thing next) we’ve dropped by Hop Stop for a couple of beers. First off, a great core beer from Beak Brewery, then a lovely brown ale from Pilgrim.

Sheltering from the rain in Venice (first of our trip, so we’ve been lucky) and saw this beer from a Venetian brewery, so had to give it a go. It’s not bad.

Last evening in Venice before heading home tomorrow. Another suggestion has been sent to me to try Birraria La Corte. I had a couple of beers on tap - the legendary Tipopils from Birrificio Italiano and a nice IPA from Crak Brewery. Finished off with a can of coffee stout from Crak.

Thanks to @musinganorak.bsky.social for the tip, we went to Il Santo Bevitore and had some really good beers from Birrone, Evoqe, and Borderline. Nice snacks too!

Last beer of the night is at Bacaro Risorto and was an East Side Brewing (from near Rome) Canadian Dark Ale. Really good beer.

Nice meal at Aciugheta Restaurant in Venice with some interesting beers from Vicenza’s Birrificio Ofelia.

We’re now in Venice. Any beer suggestions welcomed.
I’ve found this Birrificio del Doge Pils in a little sandwich shop. I see they do plenty of styles, would be good to find somewhere in Venice selling the range.

Another Santa Maria beer taken away from the pub to drink at our Airbnb. We were up really early to get here, so it’s a relatively early night for us.

A busy day in Verona ended with a stop off at Santa Maria Craft Pub for a couple of beers. One from Santa Maria themselves, and the other from Lucky Brews in nearby Vicenza. Both lovely beers in a really nice and busy space.
