Berlin is a city of millions that extends over almost 900 square kilometers. This grandiose area is full of highlights and sights that attract hordes of tourists year after year. The Tiergarten, the Hackesche Höfe, Charlottenburg and Alexanderplatz are among the most popular destinations and it is precisely in these places that you can find a real Berlin original: the Lemke brewery. rn
The exciting history of the company began in 1998. Founder Oli returns from abroad with a whole lot of ideas and wants to put the accumulated experience of the last few years into his own project. Before that, he earned a university degree in brewing and traveled through world history building breweries. With rudimentary resources and solid specialist knowledge, Oli puts together his first brewing system. A short time later he came across the perfect location: a disused S-Bahn arch at Hackescher Markt was to be leased and the founder seized the opportunity and converted the hall into a brewery. His friends lend an active hand and shortly before the new millennium the first beer flows in the Lemke brewery. From then on, things go uphill: Lemke takes over the cult pub Tiergartenquelle, Leopold's Brauhaus on Alexanderplatz and the Charlottenburger Luisenbräu. The acquisitions allow Oli to expand its production, build new facilities and expand its range. He and his team set up a pilot brewery, installed a bottling system, expanded and opened a beer garden. A well-rounded affair.rn
However, because Oli has never lost his wanderlust, he is constantly driven out into the world. His company runs like a well-oiled machine and his team of reliable, hard-working and independent people always allows him to break away from everyday life. Every now and then he sets off to set up breweries all over the world and returns from his travels inspired, motivated and refreshed. This great freedom can also be felt in his product range: Lemke brews whatever you feel like. There are Berlin classics, down-to-earth traditional beers, imaginative craft beers and special specialty beers - a colorful smorgasbord of handcrafted brews that cover every taste. In addition to the fine brewing items, Lemke Berlin also sells matching glasses and beer-themed merchandise such as shirts and caps. rn
Oli Lemke and his team have developed into a real Berlin institution over the last 20 years and have become an integral part of Germany's modern beer market!
