I loved visiting this place on my last trip to Berlin. I couldn’t find any Canadian beer but that’s ok I was looking for German and European beers and boy was I NOT disappointed. The guy working there was really nice and gave me a bunch of suggestions. I will be back Wunderbar!!!

I have been to Berlin Bier Shop a handful of times and enjoyed it. Rainer, as pointed out by others, is very friendly and helpful. As an American in Berlin, it is one of the better places to be able to pick up a few good American beers when homesick, mainly Sierra, Victory, and Anchor. Selection also includes a good mix of Belgians and nice selection of German brewers doing American and newer styles. Price, also pointed out by others, can be a drawback, but it appears mostly justified. Definitely worth a stop in Berlin bottle shops, especially for imported beers.

Nice cosy little beer and wine shop with some rare beers from UK, US and Benelux. The owner organizes now and then beer tastings. He is also knowledgeable about the beers and we had a little chat. I think it’s "little" (if I can get the same from online beershop for 50% less, yes, it sure is) pricey in comparison to some less beer shops, but has one of the best (non-German) selections. Worth checking out for some more rare stuff in Berlin: Brewdog, Sierra Nevada, De Molen and some others.

The best place in berlin to get the really big names in the craft beer-industry. De Molen, Great Divide, Brewdog (Abstract!), Westvleteren 12 (!), Left Hand, Emelisse and Anderson Valley +++ Friendly and helpful owner who speaks perfect english. The prices is quite high, but i guess that’s just the way it has to be.

Lovely little place and clearly with a passion for beer. The selection has mostly the international staples: Great beer, but not much new if you’re an experienced beer traveller in Europe (or has daily access to beer shops in Denmark/London/Rome or elsewhere) There is a very limited German selection, but some real gems among them. The prices are quite steep, but you can’t really compare to German standard beer anyway.

The owner (Rainer) is really charming and helpful. He brings craft beer to Berlin, the only shop to do that! Even if other shops may have a broader selection, they don’t have brews from mirco/craft breweries. Here you can find craft from abroad and also from fine micros from Germany. Also, he organizes sometimes beer tasting nights. A while ago the guys from Stone Brewing Co. where there for a special beer tasting, nice! The selection is good, not extensive by any means. Prices are fair, considering how bad the scene is in Berlin.

This is the best beer shop in Berlin, Germany. There is a better selection at Bier Laden or Kadawe, but neither of those places have an expert ready to help. The Berlin Beer Shop is on a great street with lots of small gourmet coffee shops and is easily accessible via the S-bahn. The owner is a collector of specialty and hard to get beers from around the world. Plus, he knows everything about all the beers - whether or not he has them for sale in the store or not. If you are lucky you might be there for a tasting and get to try some very unique beers. Most of all, just stop by and ask for a tip on where to go next. The owner knows everyone and everything when it comes to the German/Berlin beer scene.
