A COMMODITY
Founded in 2017, we are a young Berlin brewery relentless in our mission to Defend das Bier from mass production and commoditization.
We're obsessed with everything about beer from brewing it and drinking it to exploring beer’s unique role in human history and culture. Our mission is to bring back the true German brewing tradition of diverse beer styles, frequent innovation, and openness to the world. In this spirit, Bräugier pushes boundaries with bold, full-flavored beers and a relentless commitment to quality.
Excellent beer is more than just beer; it's community, it's an experience, and it's got to be damn delicious.
At Bräugier, we're just getting started.

BRÄUGIER IS BORN
Bräugier founded in Berlin
After a conversation about how experimentation and pushing boundaries was once instrumental to the German brewing scene, Brian Trauth and Johannes Dunkel found Bräugier in Berlin. The mission: to Defend das Bier and restore the age-old German brewing tradition, where experimentation reigns supreme and nothing should hold you back from drinking relentlessly excellent beer.

BREWING AND BEER CIRCUIT
Bräugier hits the market
Our first beers are released all around Germany, including our now signature Poor But Hoppy IPA. Bräugier beer is more than just beer, so Brian and Johannes take to the road, hitting beer festivals nationwide, from Cologne, to Düsseldorf and beyond, to bring the Bräugier experience to a city near you.

BREWPUB OPENS
Our home in Prenzlauer Berg
A derelict space down a side street in Prenzlauer Berg becomes our powerhouse of operations. Complete with a microbrewery out back and full taproom in the front, our BrewPub is now home to a vibrant beer drinking community, where Germans drink as much craft beer as expats.
