Description
Our founder Oli Lemke welded his first own brewing plant in a friend’s garage in 1998. Infected by Oli’s euphoria, his friends turned into builders and helped to transform a derelict S-Bahn unit at the Hakescher Markt into a brewery. On the 21st November 1999 his dream became reality: The Brauhaus Lemke opened for the very first time.

660ml bottle courtesy of Hrabren, shared with Ogi as well as him. 12%, 2024. Heavily oxidized sharp aroma, orange candy, soy sauce, raisins, metallic touches, bit vanilla, dried figs, light pepper... oof, complex, unusual. Lean, dry taste, raisins, roasted hazelnut touches, some orange touches, rye notes, some spicy alcohol touches. Solid, but the oxidation is too high, and the beer is too rough.

0.33l bottle courtesy of Hrabren, shared with Ogi and me. Likely brewed April 30 2024, so not the freshest. Hazy orange body, off-white head. Resinous and orange jelly aroma, mild oxidation. Quite pungent, old school. Lean, dusty, dry taste, creamy, vaguely jammy, tea, r esinous, tastes grainy in a weird, rye-like way, but that's partly oxidation I would say. Dunno, seems like a good beer when fresh!

0.33l bottle courtesy of Hrabren. Huge thanks! Murky sweet stone fruit and red apple pulp aroma with some spice. Lean dry salty tart taste, Waldmeister notes, mildly sweetish, quite okay. Bit earthy but I dig how they used the definition of a fake sweet flavoring properly and enhanced a solid sour Berliner with it.
