Before Upper Franconia became the region with the highest brewery density in the world, Berlin was the city with the most breweries in the world in the early 1920s. We cannot prove this fact, but we do know that Germany's capital has lost importance in terms of beer over the last hundred years. More and more small, independent breweries hung up their mash paddles and the heyday of industrial mass breweries began. Berlin became a beer desert - a situation that was still a reality until ten or fifteen years ago. But then the miracle happened: Berliners were fed up of drinking shallow, tasteless beer and with the rise of the craft beer movement, the thirst for good barley juice also grew.
The change began with a handful of breweries. Young, motivated and adventurous brewers wanted to build on the glory of days gone by and put Berlin back on the beer map. They wanted to brew hand-crafted, subtly designed, real beer and knew that they were the ones who had to take the first step. Flessa Bräu was one of them. In what is probably the smallest brewery in Berlin, Christoph brews the finest beers with heart and craftsmanship from selected raw materials. The malt comes from the Bamberg malthouse Weyermann, and the team sources the hops from the sun-drenched hop-growing regions of Germany. Brewer Christoph has deliberately decided against filtering his beers: In order to obtain a natural, flavorful product, it is best to do without frills such as filtering or pasteurization. What further boosts the aroma is fermentation at the lowest possible temperature. This technique takes more time, but also promises a purer beer. Christoph's delicious brews are worth every effort.
Flessa Bräu actually only supplies its beer regionally. They care about supplying their Berliners and avoiding long transport routes is more environmentally friendly. We were still able to negotiate a deal and secure a few bottles of the delicious beer for you. The capital city brewer's range includes a diverse range of different creations that are hoppy, powerful, fruity or light-footed. The team's dedication and enthusiasm can be tasted in every drop of beer. However, anyone who would like to get a first-hand impression of the work in the brewhouse is invited to take a brewing course. For a small fee, interested parties can get an authentic insight into the brewing process and be a brewer for a day.
We are happy about every brewery that enlivens the Berlin beer landscape and warmly welcome Flessa Bräu!
