Beer Styles at a Glance

The term craft beer covers a wide range of beers. Some well-known styles:

• Pale ale and IPA: hoppy and aromatic, often with fruity notes
• Wheat beer: fresh and mild, especially popular in summer
• Stout: dark and full-bodied, with roasted flavours
• Sour beer: tangy and tart, for the adventurous
• Märzen (malty amber lager): malty and strong, an autumn classic

Pairing Beer and Food

The right beer makes a dish even better. As a rule of thumb, hoppy beers go well with spicy food, dark beers with chocolate or roasts, and light wheat beers with light salads. Don't hesitate to ask the staff for a recommendation, as they are generally happy to advise.

Seasons and Beer Enjoyment

In spring and summer, light, refreshing beers are in demand, especially in a beer garden. In autumn and winter, many people reach for stronger, darker varieties. If you prefer to sit outside, the list of the best beer gardens in Potsdam has more addresses.
