Have been going back and forth on adding this for a while now, but if KaDeWe merits an entry, so does this one. Large, modern department store (you’ll probably want to do some shopping on the other levels) and a whole floor of food, including some international goodies and beer. There’s a section for ’normal’ beer, including some Berlin staples, but there’s also a section set apart that has a tasting area, literature, and bottles of the BraumanufaktuM beers (which, to my knowledge, aren’t available anywhere else in the city - they alone merit the trip). Prices aren’t great, but there are some oddities to help ameliorate, including 3L bottles, gift sets, and glassware (might be your best bet for a Kindl Weisse glass if you don’t want to swipe one).
