BrewDog - DogTap - Berlin
After admiring the art and street decay in Berlin for many years, I was over the moon for the opportunity to head over and leave my mark in one of my favourite cities.
I was approached by Plague Fisher, the lead artist for Brewdog with the opportunity to collaborate with him on Brewdog’s newest, most exciting and (highly anticipated), Brewdog Dogtap. I knew, much like everything Brewdog does, the boundaries were going to be pushed, the status quo was to be challenged and it was going to be one hellova epic project to be apart of - and it was.
It was such so much fun ..except for the fact that I’m terrified of heights, had never used a boom lift of this size before - that I missed the induction for the boom lifts and was left to figure out how to operate the German machinery …inside a historically significant building.
The Launch
“Dating back to 1901, the building - once home to the Mariendorf gasworks - has been reworked over recent months by the Scottish brand. That sublime red brick façade standing out among the lashing of greenery surrounding it. DogTap Berlin now serves as the brand’s European home; a new bucket-list destination for craft beer obsessives visiting the German capital.
Alongside the brewery, the 2,500-metres-squared taproom and 4,000 square metres beer garden, a range of beer activities - including home brew lessons, brewery tours and a beer museum - keep customers entertained, whilst Olympic-sized shuffle boards, classic arcade machines, miniature golf, a dog park and co-working space mean many may struggle to leave this cavernous ode to the craft beer business.”
