Finally, a stock market that can hold my interest


Home again after a lovely Easter weekend in Berlin. One of our stops this trip was the Brokers Bierbörse, a relatively normal bar with a small twist - beer prices vary over the course of the evening based on demand. Prices are displayed on flatscreen TVs around the bar, and you pay the price listed at the time you place your order.

The highlight of the evening, naturally, was the market crash.

What a neat idea! I'll have to hit that bar the next time I'm there (who knows when...).

I like all different kinds of beers, from different parts of the country. Frinstance, I like Früh and Gaffel, but not Küppers or Reißdorfer Kölsch. I like most Hacker-Pschorr wheats I've tried, but I avoid Paulaner where possible.

Leveraging my preferences against my finances (not to mention tolerances) would add a new dimension to a night at the Kneipe.

Based on the focus of the photo this picture was taken very late in the evening.

What a great idea! Which crashed first, the market or the drinkers?

I heard there is one of these in Dresden too! I've never been though, because it's not near the center. Where is the one in Berlin located? I really want to try it!

It's easy to get to - just north of the Friedrichstraße S/U. Cross the river and go left for a block or two.
