    The restaurant was very spacious and clean and you can scan the QR code on the menu for English (our waiter spoke English as well).

    Cool space, in a quasi-industrial landscape, not far from the #2 and #3 bus stops. Big enough and…read morecasual/industrial/funky to match many U.S. brewpubs. When I went there last night, people were cool and laid back. No oom-pah band and locked arms, swaying, and singing (I'm being TOTALLY facetious here). Staff are hip too. About 45 people were in a group at tables getting a beer lecture/tasting. The hipness, the group tasting - - this illustrates the state of the craft beer movement in Germany today, and the beers reflect that as well: the beers are almost satisfying, almost good expressions of each style, almost worth drinking. I'm sure the 45 people getting the beer lecture/tasting found them curious, if not intriguing. (Reminds me of the state of the craft beer movement in the U.S. 15 or 20 years ago.) I've had a few of the Hopper before, but they are not something I buy to drink at my home in Hamburg. For someone from the States, who is used to picking up plenty GREAT expressions of the different styles they make, which you can get in many shades of excellence in the U.S., it's not worth committing 12 ounces of palate time and belly space to what are, basically, nice attempts. At the brewpub I had the "Salonsozialist" weizenbock - - it was almost worthwhile, but lacking when compared to such immaculate standards here as the Weihenstephaner Vitus, or Schneider Aventinus. It isn't worth the trek out here to have something not in the same league. And, overall, unless German craft brewers can start producing really stellar beers, and not just 'almosts', and flawed expressions, hip though it may be, the craft brew movement in Germany will be on shaky footing.

    I misread the business hours and showed up on a day that the tasting room was closed. I was still…read moreable to buy a few bottles, though. The folks there were very friendly and helpful to me. I had the Dunkle Macht that night and it was very impressive. It easily unseats my previous favorite porters. I can't wait to try the other two beers. I'd like to thank the people working there for being kind and helpful. Hopefully I'll be able to return again!

    Such a cool spot in Hamburg for some tasty craft beers. They have tons of seating - both indoors…read moreand outdoors, and it almost always fills up during their opening hours. I just wish they had longer opening hours and were also open on the weekend! Also, offering beers in larger quantities would be nice as well, instead of getting up and walking to the counter to order a new one frequently :) Hamburg (and Germany in general) needs more places like this for sure!

    OK, it's settled. Next time I go out for a really satisfying beer in Hamburg, it's Circle 8…read more Why? Because the nascent craft brew scene in the Hansestadt suffers from two problems: 1) fear of alienating German lager drinkers by serving them up something too genuinely flavorful; and, 2) creating weak, flawed, amateurish versions of pale ales, IPAs, et cetera because they just aren't very good at it. Circle 8 does NOT suffer from these failings. The black IPA I had there, was probably the best I've ever had. It was lush, lively, complex, rich, balanced, and at the same time wonderfully unique. Hands down, a winner. The Citra Blonde had lovely citra character, and some real assertiveness too - - also lush and rich - - this is REAL brewing - - real hand-crafted care - - and the beers go the distance. The 5-grain I had was a bit jarring at first, because it is is also a no-compromise flavor conveyor, but I came to appreciate it over the course of the glass. The owners are delightful; they have a dedicated local following (which they fully deserve); the hours are limited (4p-8p Mon-Friday) so you have to time your visit, but it is totally worth the while. A lushness, richness, flavor oasis in what is otherwise a tepid sea of craft beer mediocrity in Hamburg. You could call it a "geheimtipp" (secret recomendation) but I hope it doesn't stay that way for long. It's a two block walk from U-bahn Alsterdorf, and a pretty little bahn trip up through Eppendorf, and a joyous little stroll, it totally is.
