Get ready to embark on a journey of (beer)scovery at Protokoll! Lovely staff and great collection of different types of craft beer!! 5 / 5 Stars Easy!

I was out with a friend when I went to visit the East Side Gallery on a rainy day in Berlin. Since it was pouring cats and dogs, I thought to get somewhere dry where I could get a good beer. After getting my bearings, I noticed Protokoll Bar with its good rating and figured to jump on the next tram to take me to it.

It wasn't too long that I finally managed to get to the bar and noticed that nearly all the bar stools were occupied and the rest of the tables packed with patrons. Still, I managed to squeeze myself in at the end of the bar and it wasn't long until I was attended to.

To be honest, I was a bit overwhelmed by the selection of beer since I couldn't make heads or tails of what was on offer, it is a craft beer nonetheless and different from your regular run of the mill beer. No worries though, the staff is prepared for such situations and I was given a sample of a couple of beers that raised my interest. For the life of me, I don't remember what I ordered anymore but I do remember its taste and the memory that it invoked in me.

The beer I had reminded me of a summer BBQ back home, but not of the beer I would be drinking, but of the smells of smoked meat sizzling on the grill, filling the air with its savory flavors. I was amazed and awestruck. What sorcery is this?

In the end, Protokoll Berlin has a variety of flavors that will catch the interest of any that are interested to explore the different facets of beer brewing. If you should find yourself in their neck of the woods, do yourself a favor and stop by and to see and experience for yourself!
