BRLO Brwhouse

What BRLO Brwhouse does

BRLO Brwhouse is a craft brewery and hospitality venue operated by BRLO GmbH, a privately held Berlin-based German limited liability company founded in 2017. The flagship BRWHOUSE venue at Schöneberger Straße 16, located near U-Bahnhof Gleisdreieck in Berlin-Kreuzberg, is constructed from 38 repurposed overseas shipping containers designed by GRAFT Architekten, giving the venue a distinctive mobile and temporary architectural identity. It functions as both a restaurant serving a seasonal Shared Plates menu and a show brewery offering public tasting tours since 2017. The venue hosts recurring event programming including comedy shows, pub quizzes, World Cup public viewings, and the Sunday Chicken & Beer pop-up, and offers Eisstockschiessen (ice stock sport) lane rentals during winter months.

BRLO operates a portfolio of five hospitality concepts across Berlin—Brwhouse, Biergarten, Charlottenburg, KASCHK by BRLO (a coffee-and-beer café), and the dedicated Chicken & Beer restaurant—plus an event catering service. The company's beverage portfolio spans craft beer (Pale Ale, Happy Pils), cider, and Fassbrause under the House of Brewing label. The business generates revenue through on-premise restaurant and bar sales, private event bookings (20+ persons), brewery tasting tours, Eisstockschiessen bookings, and gift voucher sales via an online shop. Craft beer products are also distributed through seven German retail chains: Rewe, Kaufland, Edeka, Denn's Bio, Biocomp, Getränke Hoffmann, and HIT Handelsgruppe. Distribution channels combine physical venues, the SevenRooms reservation platform, FareHarbor experience bookings, an e-commerce shop, and a 2025-launched mobile app.

The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or external funding rounds. Revenue and headcount are not publicly disclosed. Geographic reach is concentrated in Berlin, with no international expansion indicated. The Brwhouse venue is explicitly described as mobile and temporary, with future relocation anticipated.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Berliner Berg Brauerei: Berliner Berg is a Berlin craft brewery with its own taproom/brewpub, similar production scale, and retail distribution in Berlin and beyond - making it a direct local peer and head-to-head competitor for both on-premise and off-premise craft beer sales.
• BrewDog: BrewDog is a global craft brewery with a Berlin outpost that operates as a craft beer taproom/restaurant, directly competing with BRLO for craft beer enthusiasts and experiential diners in Berlin. BrewDog's franchised taproom model is a close analogue to BRLO's venue-led growth approach.
• Vagabund Brauerei: Vagabund is a Berlin-based craft brewery that also runs its own taproom/bar and sells through Berlin retail. It's a direct local competitor with overlapping customer base and similar direct-to-consumer + retail distribution strategy.
• Stone Brewing Berlin: Stone Brewing (now owned by Sapporo) operated a famous Berlin craft brewpub and restaurant that competed head-to-head with BRLO for craft beer tourists and brewery tour customers. Their flagship taproom-plus-brewery concept is essentially the same model BRLO pursues at Gleisdreieck.

Emerging players

• BraufactuM: BraufactuM is a German craft brewery producing specialty beers and operating a Berlin taproom concept. It overlaps with BRLO on craft beer production and on-premise experience, though it focuses more on premium/specialty bottles than the multi-venue restaurant model.

Broad incumbents

• Weihenstephan: Weihenstephan is the world's oldest brewery and operates a famous on-premise taproom/restaurant in Bavaria. It is comparable to BRLO as a brewery-with-taproom concept at much greater scale and German geographic reach, showing the broader craft brewpub archetype.
• Hofbräuhaus München: Hofbräuhaus is an iconic brewery-operated restaurant and tourist destination, comparable to BRLO as a brewery + restaurant + event venue hybrid. It represents the mature scaled version of the brewpub-as-tourism-experience model BRLO is emulating in Berlin.
• Radeberger Gruppe: Radeberger Gruppe is one of Germany's largest brewery groups that operates multiple venue concepts and retail beer distribution through the same kind of supermarket chains where BRLO has shelf placement. Its regional brands (e.g., Berliner Kindl) directly compete with BRLO in the Berlin on- and off-premise market.

Others

• GRAFT Architekten: GRAFT Architekten designed the 38-container BRLO Brwhouse. They are not a competitive peer but a strategic co-development/design partner that gives BRLO distinctive architectural IP.
• Sevenrooms (restaurant-tech peer): SevenRooms is the reservation and guest-experience platform BRLO uses at the Brwhouse. While not a competitive peer, it is a key technology partner for BRLO's direct-to-consumer booking funnel.
