NEW: THE THREE MOST HOPPY BEERS FROM LEMKE BREWERY NOW AVAILABLE IN CANS
28 August 2026 / Our three most hop-forward beers are now available not only in bottles but also in 0.33-litre cans: 030 Berlin Pale Ale, Berlin Jungle IPA and SpreeCoast IPA. The beers themselves remain unchanged; they are brewed using the same recipes as before.
Three beers, a new name
The 030 Berlin Pale Ale and the SpreeCoast IPA will retain their names. Our Lemke India Pale Ale (IPA) finally has its own name for the can: Berlin Jungle IPA. Like the other two varieties, this IPA is brewed at our brewery in Berlin-Mitte. Thanks to the intensive dry-hopping, it is very aromatic and intense: a thicket of hop aromas! This impression provided the inspiration for the new name, Berlin Jungle IPA, and the green can design.
The can offers real advantages for hoppy beers
It is no coincidence that we bottle our Pale Ale and two India Pale Ales in cans. The can is the better choice for these beer styles because it fully protects the hop aromas from light. This means the beer retains its aromatic freshness for longer. Furthermore, these internationally renowned styles have long been enjoyed from tins in other European countries and within the German beer scene. The tin therefore also helps customers to navigate our range: at Lemke Brewery, the bottle tends to represent classic styles such as Pils and Zwickel. The tins, with their illustrations, clearly signal that more intense beers with higher bitterness levels are to be expected.
Cans are better than their reputation suggests
Drinks tins have been making a comeback for several years now. If you take a look round the supermarket, you’ll notice that the shelves stocked with tinned beer are getting ever more extensive. This type of packaging also offers real advantages for beer: as it’s hermetically sealed, neither light nor air can reach the beer; it simply stays fresh for longer. Cans also score highly when it comes to transport and logistics. They are lighter, take up less space and are shatterproof. This means we can deliver far more cans per shipment than would be possible with bottles. And thanks to the returnable deposit system, the recycling rate for drinks cans stands at 99 per cent.
