Berliner weisse? 13 years 9 months ago #1

Paddy Bubbles Topic Author Offline Posts: 126	I realised recently that I've never tasted a Berliner Weisse. Are they even available in Ireland and what brand/brewery should I look out for? Ta.

Not saying you shouldn't try it, but don't expect a session beer, and get some Raspberry or Waldmeister syrup and you can introduce your 12 year old to beer.

No not really, I hated the shit when I worked in Germany. Awkward glasses and grannies scraping together coppers from their purses to pay for it and then they'd leave you a few pfennig tip.......those were the days.

As said it's not really considered a beer, just traditional and a refreshing summer drink.
