Berlin is a big city. With a population of over 3.5 million there are plenty of bars serving a wide range of beers from all over the world. In that sense this post is only the tip of the iceberg, these are three places I have been and particularly enjoyed and would heartily recommend to anyone who has an interest in great beer.
Muted Horn.
This is a great little bar in the district of Neukölln which is well worth searching out. Serving 22 beers on tap, both local and international, and an even larger selection of bottles there is something for everyone here and its easy to see why it is so popular with craft beer enthusiasts.
There is plenty of seating and even a small area outside. There’s a nice relaxed atmosphere here and you can easily while away an hour or so without much effort. Although they don’t serve food they don’t mind if you bring your own and you can even send out for a delivery.
Muted Horn, Flughafen straße 49.
U8 Boddinstraße is the nearest U-Bahn station a mere couple of minutes walk away.

Beereau.
A small but cosy bar located just off Friedrichstraße in Mitte. It may only be small but it is wonderful place to stop off for an early evening beer. There are a small number of beers on tap and a good selection in the fridges. The place is quite relaxed with a good selection of beer related books.

Mikkelller
The Danish brewery Mikkeller is regarded as one of the best in the world and has bars in several major cities around the world. The bar in Mitte is small with seating arranged into three areas plus tables outside for when the weather permits. The decor has a very Scandinavian feel and creates a relaxed and calming environment, ideal for drinking a beer or two!.
There are twenty four beers available on tap. Most are Mikkeller’s own brews but there are also a number of guest beers. Staff are approachable, helpful and knowledgable so navigating the menu if you are unsure is not a problem. Servings are available in two sizes, 40cl and 80cl.
