Ivy Circle Berlin Stammtisch

by Carl Kruse

The Ivy Circle Berlin Stammtisch takes place every first Tuesday of the month.

Its current location is at the lobby bar of the TELEGRAPHENAMT HOTEL, located at Monbijoustr. 11 in central Berlin.   We meet there from 6pm-9pm with the next Stammtisch slated for June 3, 2025.

 Our Stammtischs have been beautiful gatherings.

Cash bar and complimentary wine. while it lasts.

The TELEGRAPHENAMT dates from 1910 and was formerly Berlin’s main telegraph center and widely considered Germany’s most elaborate postal building.  It has been beautifully repurposed as a hotel.

Come meet old and new friends alike.

While the last three Stammtischs have taken place at the Telegraphenamt, we expect to rotate the Stammtisch location through various locations in Berlin. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, see you at the TELEGRAPHENAMT on Tuesday!

Cheers,
Carl Kruse

The Brews Cruise Returns

by Carl Kruse

Berlin Beer Week returns this September and with it one of their marquee events which is the “Taste of the U.S.A.” cruise, featuring a tour around the watery parts of Berlin, unlimited tasting of 30 craft beers from North Carolina and Tennessee, a free Bourbon tasting, several DJ sets, and an after party.  We will take a look at Berlin from the water and sample artisanal beers.  Even if you don’t like beer this is good.

The organizers of Berlin Beer Week have invited us once again to join this year’s cruise, which takes place on Saturday, 2 September 2023, boarding at about 14:30 from Märkisches Ufer 48 and going until about 17:00.

We have a super discounted rate of 49.90€, which includes the cruise, unlimited beer, a reserved after party area for us, and the first beer free at the after party.  It is a lot of love.

Berlin Beer Week takes place in September, but the cruise always sells out early so if you are interested please reach out as soon as possible to Carl Kruse at carl@alumni.princeton.edu to RSVP.

In other news, there is a book presentation with Uwe Westphal on May 10 with complimentary wine and appetizers at INIZIO at 18:30 and a happy hour at “Hier Wo Du Strahlst” on May 24 beginning at 19:00.

Cheers and to a great Spring!
