Things to do in Berlin in August - Beer

(1/3) > >>

Recherei:
Quite disappointed to learn The International Berlin Beer Festival ends on 9 August 2015.  Oktoberfest isn't until 19 September 2015.  Have any provisions been made to satisfy the beer drinking furry as this dry period coincides with the convention?

Well, we have german supermarkets.
The hotel beer garden and bar.
Probably several hundreds of bars and restaurants that serve beer in Berlin.
Small corner shops and gas stations that sell beer all night long.

So... yeah, it's sad that the festival is so short, but I don't think there will be a lack of beer.

Fineas:
I personally was a bit disappointed their wasn't a whole lot to do from the hotel in the Beergarten, especially at night.

Unless I was mistaking their bar closed fairly early, no music etc.
Call me a barbarian, because it's a '4 star hotel', but... I see money, lots of money.
If you go with the flow and could entertain people, they stick longer, drink and eat more.

Then again, it might not be the image they are aiming for. Normally the fine gents and ladies that come their probably drink 2 glasses of wine, take  scroll near the water and call it a night...
I silently hope they kind of steer in the same direction as the Magdenburg hotel and become more friendly toward convention goers when it comes to provided services.

well, maybe this would satisfy you :)

The bombed out trainstation in Friedrichshain (Revaler-Strasse 99) is a cool place to go out till deep in the night.
Also, the YAAM beach (An der Schillingbrücke) is a very nice place to hang out. They say they have genuine Jamaican beach sand!
Do note that after 2 AM there is no S-bahn service, starting again at about 4-5 AM. Buses drive around the clock though.

Other than that, Berlin is famous for its alternative scene, graffiti art, and great nightlife. Especially in these parts; Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain.
Just keep in mind to steer clear from station Lichtenberg.


On another note, the abandoned American military base at the top of Teufelsberg is definitely worth a visit!
