Month: September 2016

Departure Day

Published on 17th September 2016

Our departure day was cold and rainy — completely the opposite of the previous days — so our daily cup of coffee at the Bonanza Roastery was a welcome break from our last few strolls through Berlin.
We were briefly tempted by the Oktoberfest tent in front of the Hauptbahnhof, but a Maß (liter) of Märzen lost its appeal after all those great beers we had over the last week.
Our first ICE train had a bit of a delay, barely leaving us time to grab something to eat in Köln. We’ll be crossing the border to Belgium soon, signalling the end of this Berlin trip.
However, some more — and better — photos will follow soon!

Last Museum & Stone

Published on 17th September 2016

The last museum of our trip was the Museum für Kommunikation.
We then headed south, to the sparkling new Stone brewery. There were no tours of the brewery itself yet, but the “Bistro & Gardens” certainly are impressive already! The garden and indoor space for drinking and dining are huge, and they have fifty beers on draught, most of them brewed there or in the original American Stone brewery.
For dinner we had the über-German fast food: Currywurst.

Märkisches Museum

Published on 16th September 2016

We started our last full day in Berlin with some history of this city, in the Märkisches Museum.
For lunch, we decided to have something healthy today: soup at Suppengrün.

Dinner & Drinks

Published on 16th September 2016

For dinner, we had booked a table at Salt n Bone. We enjoyed some great Stone beers again, a huge meat platter, and the company of Stone’s number one: Greg Koch.
Afterward we went to Italian craft beer bar Birra. By coincidence, there was a tap takeover there by Toccalmatto, with their main man — Bruno Carilli — present as well.

Another Museum Day

Published on 15th September 2016

Another museum day today: Technikmuseum, Naturkundemuseum & Gemäldegalerie. In between we went to one of the best kebab places of Berlin: Mustafa’s Gemüse Kebab.
