Flessa Bräu

Flessa Bräu is a small neighborhood brewery in the center of Berlin, the city that had the highest density of breweries in the world in the 1920s. Unfortunately, not much of this variety of breweries has been preserved today.
Flessa Bräu and several other young companies are continuing the old tradition of producing beer by hand in small breweries.
To produce our beers, we only use selected raw materials, such as malt and organic malt from the Weyermann malthouse, as well as hops and organic hops from various growing regions in Germany and pure yeasts, to which our beer owes its special taste. For ecological reasons, sales are limited to the regional market.
The beer is prepared with a lot of care and love according to special recipes by our brewer Christoph in perhaps the smallest brewhouse in Berlin. At our brewing seminars you can look over his shoulder and even lend a hand while brewing.
In contrast to most industrial breweries, we consciously avoid any filtration, heat treatment and yield-increasing methods in order to preserve the valuable ingredients as much as possible.
When fermenting we stick to the lower temperature range. This means that fermentation takes longer, but it also produces less fuzz, which can cause problems the next day.
Our motto also applies to storage – quality over quantity – and so we give our drink enough storage time to delight many a palate with a beer from Flessa Bräu.
