Tips from Hertha fans - 6
Berlin fan survey continued…
What is the typical thing to drink in the region?
Sören: There are four types of beer in Berlin: Schultheiss, Berliner Kindl, Berliner Bürgerbräu and Berliner Pilsener. There are also a few smaller breweries, and quite a lot of brands of schnapps from Berlin too (e.g. ‘Mampe halb und halb’, ‘Wurzelpeter’ etc.)
Markus: “Berliner Weisse mit Schuss” - that’s a special type of Berlin beer, which is served with a twist of red (raspberry) or green (woodruff) syrup!
Alex: Beer, Berliner Weisse
Andrea: Berliner Weisse.
Gunnar: Beer! In Berlin alone there are 30 different varieties. Almost every district has its own beer. You should definitely find yourself a typical corner pub (preferably in Spandau or Charlottenberg) to get a feel of ‘old Berlin’ flair!
Pepsi-Peppy: Beer right next to the ground.
Joël: Berliner Kindl Jubiläums Pils (Berliner Kindl Anniversary Pils)
What is the typical thing to eat in the region?
Sören: Typcial to Berlin are: Currywurst (a bratwurst with curry sauce and spicy ketchup), Eisbein (a joint of meat coated in fat) and Bulettes (meat balls made of mince).
Markus: You have to try a Berlin “Currywurst” at least once!
Alex: Currywurst, donner kebab, falafel (fried patties).
Andrea: Berlin Currywurst.
Gunnar: Currywurst is a must! Berlin is the only place where the sausage is deep-fried and not grilled. Very fatty and very tasty! Königsberger Klopse mit Kartoffeln (Königsberg meatballs and potato) is aslo a tasty old Berlin dish. As Berlin has become very multicultural, a Turkish Döner Kebap (donner kebab) or Arab Schawarma can also be highly recommended.
Pepsi-Peppy: Currywurst right next to the ground.
Joël: Bratwurst, Krakauer (a long, grilled sausage), Bulettes (meat balls made of mince), Currywurst.
