Twenty two rotating taps, two of them nitro, and Berlin's most reliable beer board, run by two Vancouver transplants since 2016.
The Muted Horn opened on Flughafenstrasse 49 in October 2016, when Jenia Semenova and Corbin Crnkovic brought a Vancouver sized thirst for hop forward beer to Neukölln. It has held the top of Berlin's craft rankings since, scoring 99 for the city on RateBeer.
Twenty two taps rotate German, Danish, Austrian, and American brewers, with two dedicated nitro lines and a bottle list past 80 deep.
Craft Beer and Brewing profiled the tap program, and FTRC.blog calls it the favorite craft room in the neighborhood.
A minimal room: bare brick, good light fittings, sofas in back, and a patio out front for summer. The board game shelf runs in German and English, and the lighting stays bright enough to read a tap list by.
There is no kitchen, and the bar encourages bringing food in from the Flughafenstrasse spots around it. Falafel from the corner and a nitro stout is a legitimate Neukölln dinner.
Start with a taster flight: four beers under 6 percent for 9 euros, or four over 6 percent for 10, per Richard Coldwell's beer blog. The board leans IPA and stout but keeps lambic, cider, and Berlin locals in rotation.
Staff talk through the list without ceremony. Tripadvisor reviewers flag the service as the second draw after the taps.
