Boak & Bailey's Beer Blog - Writing about beer and pubs since 2007
There has been an interesting reaction to the news that influential American brewery Stone are opening*a brewery in Berlin.
‘Craft beer’ cheerleaders are whooping; cynics are… well, cynical.
Instinctively, it does seem arrogant (though ‘on brand’) to attempt*to*evangelise about beer in*Germany, of all places.
But we can’t help thinking of the mid-19th century when Germans* were taking their newly-perfected and fashionable ‘lager beer’ around the world, investing in breweries everywhere from Budapest to Boston.
Stone aren’t doing anything Anton Dreher wouldn’t, are they?
**German was then a ‘concept’ rather than a nationality, and included Austria.
Coals to Newcastle?
