Berlin Beer Week 2017 starts with a craft beer cruise that’s The Love Boat for beer aficionados.

This July 21st at 18:00, Berlin Beer Week 2017 officially begins. Take a moment to steady your excitement. Because you know that means their now-infamous craft beer cruise is back. For the 69€ ticket, you get a four hour cruise along the Spree plus an ‘open glass’ policy. That means it’s “all-you’d-like-to-drink”, which is total nonsense as it infers you have a choice about how much you drink. Drink it all. They’re all delicious and you only have four hours.

This year they’ve gone truly overboard with their line up of beers:

Bierfabrik (Berlin) BRLO (Berlin) Heidenpeters (Berlin) Stone Brewing Berlin (Berlin) Brauerei Heldenblut (Berlin) Lemke Berlin (Berlin) Motel Beer (Berlin) Pirate Brew Berlin (Berlin) Schneeeule Berlin (Berlin) Schoppe Bräu Berlin (Berlin) Straßenbräu (Berlin) Vagabund Brauerei (Berlin) LaBieratorium (Cottbus) Uerige (Düsseldorf) Kehrwieder (Hamburg) Buddelship Brauerei Hamburg (Hamburg) Freigeist Bierkultur (Köln) Kemker Brauerei (Lienen) Mikkeller HQ (Dänemark) To Øl (Dänemark) Warpigs (Dänemark) Buxton Brewery Company (England) Sori Brewing (Estland) LoverBeer (Italien) Steamworks Brewing Company (Kanada) Oedipus Brewing (Niederlande) Jopen Beer (Niederlande) Ægir Bryggeri (Norwegen) LERVIG (Norwegen) Bevog Brewery (Österreich) Browar Kingpin (Polen) BrewDog (Schottland) Beerbliotek (Schweden) Stockholm Brewing Co. (Schweden) Edge Brewing (Spanien) Cerveses La Pirata (Spanien) Mad Scientist (Ungarn) The Brooklyn Brewery (USA) Epic Brewing Company (USA) Firestone Walker Brewing Co. (USA) Rogue Ales & Spirits (USA) …and the Official Beer of Berlin Beer Week 2017 (a collaboration brew by Bierfabrik and BRLO).

Phew! That list was exhausting.

In total their bar will boast 40+ beers from 40+ breweries. There will be DJs, dancing, sunshine (hopefully) and the potential to impress countless people with your knowledge of craft beer. You might even learn something, even though you know it all already. Boarding begins at 17:30, with embarkment at 18:00. Bottled water will be included in the ticket price. Snacks, full meals, and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are available for individual purchase from the onboard menu of Stern & Kreisschiffahrt. After disembarkment at 22:00, an after-party will be hosted at BrewDog Berlin Mitte, where you will be welcomed with a complimentary fresh beer from tap.
