About us

The Brauereigaststätte Leibhaftig at Metzer Straße 30 in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg is run by Marcus Wanke together with his wife Ilona. The focus is on WANKE BRÄU: the beer is brewed according to the German Beer Purity Law in a small house brewery in the Spreewald and delivered unfiltered to Berlin in 30-liter kegs. Each brew yields 300 liters of beer; depending on the season, WANKE Pils, WANKE Weizen, WANKE Schwarzbier and WANKE Doppelbock are served fresh on tap. Marcus Wanke is a trained brewer and maltster as well as a graduate engineer (Dipl.-Ing.) in Brewing and Beverage Technology (Weihenstephan). The kitchen, headed by Ilona Wanke, offers predominantly traditional Bavarian cuisine in the form of Bavarian tapas. In addition to serving beer in the restaurant, Leibhaftig offers guided beer tastings with matching tapas as well as catering in halls, tents, private homes and other venues in Berlin and the Spreewald region.
