Hops & Barley
Hausbrauerei Hops & Barley is a small brewpub in Berlin-Friedrichshain near Boxhagener Platz, opened in 2008 in a butcher's shop that had traded there from 1955 to 1995; its Art Nouveau tiles still line the walls. Owner Philipp Brokamp from Borken trained as a brewer in Bavaria and studied beverage technology in the capital. Pilsner, Bernstein, Dunkles and a hoppy Weizen are always on tap, joined by changing specials such as Pale Ale, IPA, bock and stout. All beers are unfiltered. A second brewing site in Berlin-Marzahn hosts the brewing courses.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
Friedrichshainer Pilsner
Their beers place in the Top 57% of the catalogue on average, across 8 ranked beers. One clear standout well ahead of the rest.
