Just like the federal city, pubs are lively gathering places where everyone is welcome. Learn all about pub culture, beer history and the brewing process at four locations around Bern railway station on the “Popping to the Pub” tour. What goes on in these public houses, as they were originally called, and how did they get their name? And which beers are served here? A professional tasting of three beers at each location is, of course, part of the programme, along with interesting facts and figures about the individual beers.
Experience traditional pub culture at the following four locations:
Mr. Pickwick’s Pub
A home away from home, that’s what the famous Mr. Pickwick Pubs embody. Pickwick’s, with its wooden furniture, football and different beers, has been an integral part of Bern’s pub culture for over 40 years. You’ll find British and Irish beers as well as locally brewed varieties here.
