“Brew it yourself” is more than a trend; individual breweries are going back to basics and using meticulous craftsmanship to create beers with rich taste. These beers represent a new authenticity and way of life.

Gestalten.tv met with beer sommelier and founder of the Berlin Beer Academy Sylvia Kopp, who authored the texts in our new book Barley & Hops (also published in German as Das Craft-Bier Buch), and paid a visit to Berlin-based American craft beer brewery Vagabund Brauerei to offer you the most authentic insight and visual taste into this international craft beer movement. Here’s to you, cheers!
