How Beer Built Berlin

Описание: Berlin was once Europe’s beer capital! In this video I explore how brewing shaped the city’s growth, from hilltop beer gardens and cool cellars to politics and protest with more than a little help from Dan Cole. You may know Dan from Hiking and Drinking, or as the author of Beer Hiking Berlin. He shares expert insight on Berlin’s historic breweries, but you should follow him to find out where you can go on amazing hikes and find the best breweries and vineyards across Europe.

In this video discover why Prenzlauer Berg, then called Windmühlenberg, was perfect for early lager brewing, how names like Bötzow and Schultheiss became city institutions, and how places such as the Pfefferberg evolved from industrial sites into cultural landmarks.

We follow the rise of bottom-fermented beer in Berlin, the role of deep ice-age cellars and clean water, and the day-trip culture that turned the city’s edge into a leisure zone. We also look at labour and power, including the 1894 beer boycott, when drinkers chose sides and pubs declared themselves “boycott-free”.
