It's not really a pub, but a brewery (and restaurant and hotel). As best I can recall they serve one draught beer! But it is their own, and it was a tasty, amber lager. I'm glad we were there midday midweek, because I suspect we would not have liked to see it crawling with hotel guests and restaurant patrons on a weekend evening. But we were glad we stopped by on our way to the Spandau Citadel.
Take the S-bahn to Spandau, walk straight away towards and completely through the rather obvious town center (walk towards the big, old town church in the distance), cross the bridge and there you will find this big place. It is a hotel, restaurant and brew house. We had one beer, then hit their buffet for sausage and potatoes. I seem to recall they rotate their draught beer on a seasonal basis.
Prior to this 2007 trip to Germany, I had not eaten pork (or beef) for 15 years, mainly for health reasons. But when I got to Germany, it seemed like a crime not to try their sausages. I really enjoyed it, and this Brauhaus sausage was one of the tastiest I had during my three week stay in Europe.
On our way back to the S-bahn, we dropped into a locals pub on a street not far from the street pictured above. I wish I'd photographed this pub, as it was small, cozy and real. It was also reallllly smoky inside!
