BRLO Pale Ale if you want modern hop character and a bit more grip,
Chamberlain Pale Ale if you want something traditionally balanced and easy.
BRLO's got that contemporary Berlin brewery energy—cleaner, more assertive. Chamberlain sits in the English tradition, which means it's understated but genuinely satisfying. They're only 0.5% ABV apart, but the breweries are pulling in different directions.

BRLO Pale Ale
BRLO's pale ale has a bright, almost citrus-forward nose that catches you immediately. The body's lean and crisp—it doesn't linger, but that's intentional; the hops do their talking upfront and then get out of the way. There's a subtle floral backdrop, but mostly you're getting that clean, modern efficiency Berlin breweries are known for. It finishes dry without any roughness.
Chamberlain Pale Ale
Chamberlain tastes like someone knew exactly what an English bitter should be and didn't overthink it. There's a gentle malt sweetness underneath that makes it feel more substantial than the ABV suggests. The bitterness is there (30 IBU), but it's woven in rather than announced. You could drink this all night without thinking about it, which is kind of the point—it's made to be a session beer that actually has character.
