In German, Nachtschwärmer can mean a nocturnal butterfly, but also a person who stays up late into the night.
Black as the night, our Schwarzbier has rich roasted malt, but is bottom-fermented for a butterfly’s lightness. Notes of coffee and dark chocolate with moderate hop bitterness and a subtle touch of citrus. Read Less

We at Bräugier are a family business...everyone pitches in to help with something. So when our 4 year old declared that Godzilla “can only destroy buildings”, but God-Damn-Zilla “could destroy the whole Earth,” we knew the young one had coined his first beer name. (We have no idea where, he might hear such bad language ?)

Our God-Damn-Zilla features the classic Citra, Mosaic combo in a 22g/l double dry hop Double Hazy IPA. Weighing in at 8.1% this beast can do plenty of damage. So channel your inner God-Damn-Zilla and get your claws on some today. Destruction never tasted so good. Read Less

Frucht & Eisen (Pink Guava + Passion Fruit) - Sour

Kettle Sour fruited with loads of Pink Guava rounded with Passion Fruit and hopped with Citra.

Speech by Brian von Trauthmark to the imaginary Prussian craft brewer representative house:

“Germany is not looking to Prussia's conservatism, but to its Craft. Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden may indulge conservatism, and yet no one will assign them Prussia's role.

Prussia has to coalesce and concentrate its Craft for the opportune moment, which has already been missed several times. Prussia's borders according to the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot of 1516 are not favorable for a healthy, vital brewing art.

It is not by speeches and special privileges that the great questions of the time are decided – that was the big mistake of 1906 and 1993 – but by iron and fruit.”

You walk up to your favorite pub to grab a few beers one sunny afternoon. But this is no normal day. No! It will be a day filled with suspense, twists and turns.

Just as you arrive, you see a seemingly healthy, fit man lose his balance, wobble, stumble before finally falling down. You wonder what caused this. “It’s too early in the afternoon for this to be a simple case of being drunk?”

Determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, you run through possibilities in your head. “Did someone drug him?” “Does he suffer from vertigo?”

You overhear one of his friends say he is simply a Victim of Gravity. “A Victim of Gravity? That can’t make any sense?”

Then, a shady character, mumbling something about home brewing, angrily grumbles “Gravity in beer leads to the amount of alcohol in the beer, you newbie!”. He pulls down his hoodie and disappears as quickly as he arrived.

Bewildered, you are relieved to see that your friend has brought you a beer from the bar. It is beautiful orange haze, exploding with aroma and it goes down smooth. Too smooth. You have another and another, before feeling feel light-headed yourself.

You look for somewhere to sit down and wonder if you have been afflicted with the same malady as the poor chap who fell down earlier. You tell your friend you are feeling woozy and that strange character in the hoodie reappears and ominously says, “you too are now a Victim of Gravity”

Deviously delicious with a DDH of Amarillo, Mosaic and a dash of Citra. Read Less

It seems like the only people who like acronyms more than hipster craft brewers are partygoers who need short easy names for all complicated chemical names of their favorite club drug so they can enjoy a night at the club. MDMA, GHB, PMA, TFMPP, LSD, and so the list goes on.

Did you finally figure out what an IPA is?

How about a NEIPA?...You cool with that?

Ah, but DDH?...Have you tried DDH?...You don’t know what DDH is?

Well f*ck that anyway, because now there’s that new sh*t…….HDHC.

You gotta try HDHC.

What’s in it? How is it different?

Don’t worry about that, bro. It’s gonna make you feel real good. Everybody’s doing it.

******

Back in the lab, our cook has ensured us his smurfs got only the finest Citra Incognito, Citra T90, Amarillo T90, Amarillo Cryo, Simcoe T90, Simcoe Cryo, and Callista T90, so this is some of the purest high quality HDHC you gonna find. Take a sip, feel the music, and look at all the crazy colors.

Pi Day is 3.14 (March 14th). This is the day everything changed for our small brewery and taproom, as Berlin closed all bars, effectively killing our business since we mostly make kegs. π had unleashed his wrath on brewers, bars, and restaurants everywhere.
This delicious NEIPA was the last beer we brewed just before this fateful day. It is too good to dump, so we worked hard to buy new equipment and figure out the logistics to start bottling and delivering our beers to our amazing customers. Sharing our beer is our obsession.
Features Strata (our first time using it), plus some El Dorado and a dash of Hallertauer Blanc. Taste the Wrath! Read Less

The doorbell rings. Expecting a delivery, you jump up from the sofa in excitement. Is it the delicious, fresh, Bräugier beer you ordered? Is it your new PlayStation? Or maybe that sweet hat you ordered to impress your hot coworker?

You get to the door and answer the intercom to buzz in the delivery guy. “Hallo?!” you say, full of anticipation.

But what do you hear in response?

The same damn thing you always hear. The delivery is not for you!! Instead you hear over the intercom the dreaded phrase: “Paket für Nachbarn” (English: Package for your Neighbor)!

Somehow, they never have your stuff…your stuff probably got delivered to a neighbor. And now for the 3rd time this week, deflated, you agree to accept the package for your neighbor, while your apartment is starting to look more and more like a Paket Shop. Welcome to modern life in a German city.

For the next time that happens, we’ve got the beer to help you unwind. Our newest Double Dry Hopped NEIPA is 6.9% and features 22 g/l of Simcoe, El Dorado, and Idaho 7.

In no way do we encourage postal theft, but we can totally understand if the next package you take for your neighbor has a Bräugier sticker on it, you decide to drink one or two for yourself.

The second Hazy IPA we ever brewed back in April 2019 was a sign of things to come. You guys crushed it back then, but we’ve continued to learn new tricks on our never-ending path to brewmastery. So we are excited to bring back Complex Matter just in time for the Grand Opening of our 2nd Taproom at Ostkreuz in Berlin.
A great time to celebrate the past and look forward to the future. Citra, Mosaic, and Centennial it’s got all the juicy goodness of the Citra-Mosaic pairing with a little something special from Centennial, one of our favorite hops whether in a West Coast or a New England IPA.
Enjoy again with us now! Read Less

This beer is fun experiment that turned out awesome. We took our classic West Coast IPA, Poor but Hoppy and doubled the aroma hops. Double the whirlpool Centennial and instead of single dry hop of Centennial and Simcoe, we did it twice. That's 20g per Liter of aroma hop goodness.
Bursting with stone fruit and grapefruit on the nose, Poor but Hazy has an easy drinking juiciness with restrained bitterness.
Compare this with the Poor but Hoppy to see how changing the yeast and dry hop regimen allows a completely different flavor profile from the exact same ratio of hops.

Berlin’s long lost treasure, the Bernsteinzimmer (English: Amber Room) has finally resurfaced!

The Bernsteinzimmer was an ornate room originally constructed in the 18th century out of amber panels, gold leaf and mirror for Berlin’s Royal Palace. Considered an eighth wonder of the world, it was later given as a gift from Friedrich Wilhelm to Tsar Peter the Great. The Bernsteinzimmer stayed in Russia until World War II when the Nazi Army moved it to Königsberg (today Kaliningrad). However, as the allies closed in, the Germans disassembled the room and packed it into crates. In the chaos of the war, it disappeared and has not been found since. Treasure hunters continue to chase down possible locations to this day, but so far, without luck…until now :)

Our Bernsteinzimmer Amber Lager shares its beautiful amber color with its namesake room, but instead of with gold leaf, we adorned our beer with a generous amount of the noble Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hop. The classic floral aroma, the perfect touch of malt, and crisp lager finish make this Berlin’s newest treasure. Read Less

The Denunziant, in English, the “Snitch.” All societies and ages have them. The Denunziant has played a prominent role in many phases of German history…to be fair, occasionally for good, but in most cases, bad. There’s even a German saying, that the Denunziant is the biggest rogue in all the land!

Well, Corona Lockdowns have brought all of the Denunziant back out of the woodwork:

“Do you all belong to the same household?”

“It looks like your standing 1.48 meters apart instead of 1.5 meters.”

We even had the police show up at our BrewPub, when one @$$hole…, I mean concerned citizen, called them to say that we had our bar open illegally. Of course, the police had no issue, when they found out it was just the brewery employees standing outside many meters apart during their lunch break having a beer. (You know, beer is kind of our profession!)

Whatever your encounter with one of these rogues, it always leaves you surprisingly dazed with a bitter taste in your mouth. Well, that’s exactly what will happen when you drink our newest Double West Coast IPA, Denunziant. This concerned citizen has a deceptively smooth 8.8% alcohol with 80 IBU for a bitterness that we find builds up on you over time. Dry hopped two times with boatloads of Simcoe, Cascade, and Amarillo as well as touches of Centennial and Columbus to give a classic West Coast profile: Dank and piney with enough fruit to bring it all together.

A couple of months ago, we first released our very popular and delicious Double Hazy IPA, God-Damn-Zilla! While there were no complaints about the big lizard, we did notice a quite few people stumbling into things after drinking a few too many of the 8.1% beast.
Fortunately, G.D. Zilla left us a present, as we discovered a Zilla egg! After lots of TLC, the little guy has hatched! So let’s welcome Baby-Zilla, the Session Hazy IPA version of God-Damn-Zilla.
Baby-Zilla has all the mean, green hops of his predecessor but only 4.8% alcohol. DDH again with Citra and Mosaic. We cranked up the wheat and oats in the grain bill for a full body and soft mouthfeel. It may be a Zilla, but it’s only a baby, so don’t be scared to be have few more.

Kveik is name for a variety of yeast strains that had been handed down for generations among small Norwegian brewers and have recently become a topic of fascination and experimentation for brewers around the world.

So for our first time using a Kveik strain ourselves, we named the beer with a reference to WWII Norwegian history. At the time, Norway was Europe’s only producer of Heavy Water, a precursor to making nuclear weapons. With Norway under Nazi control, a joint effort of Allied Powers and Norwegian Resistance led multiple daring sabotages to heavy water production and supply lines to prevent the Nazis from developing atomic bombs.

Thanks to these brave efforts, today this German brewery is able to use a Norwegian export for forces of good in brewing this delicious Kveik IPA. Kveik strains are special for a lot of reasons, but one unique thing about them is they produce a ton of fruit character along with a hard-to-describe pleasantly funky yeast note.

Our Heavy Water Sabotage is hopped with El Dorado, Azacca, and Mosaic that pairs perfectly with the tropical yeast notes. A lot more of the fruitiness is coming from the yeast than you might expect. Enjoy the fruit and look for that little something different that the Kveik yeast also brings. A super smooth 6.4% with something familiar yet somehow deliciously different! Read Less

A person with Savant Syndrome was previously called an Idiot Savant, a term which did not confer dignity on these amazing people with exceptional skills in areas such as mathematics, art, or memory. This condition was perhaps most famously fictionally depicted in the movie Rain Man, based on the real life Savant, Kim Peek.

Our Sauvin Syndrome DDH Double IPA features the exceptional flavor and aroma profile of its namesake New Zealand hop varietal, Nelson Sauvin. We complemented the Nelson Sauvin with a bit of Idaho-7 and Ekuanot to provide a complex profile that lets the unique grape-like and white wine characteristics of Nelson Sauvin shine together with a tropical pop.
