Selection at Barbière in Bern
Barbière doesn’t just serve ordinary beers. The brewers do a great job brewing their beer. This time, Barbière offered “Oyster Stout,” which contains the aroma of real oysters. You could also drink a “Pseudo Lager,” which tastes like a lager despite being a top-fermented beer. Barbière makes sure customers can enjoy one of my favourite beer styles – namely sour beer. This time, the sour beer was an Aprigose, a gose beer with a hint of apricot flavour.
Besides beer, you can also treat yourself to other drinks like wine or non-alcoholic beverages such as iced tea. At lunchtime, Barbière serves daily specials, also without meat. In the evening, there are small dishes like cold platters, with or without cheese.
