Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailBerliner Weisse

Berliner Weisses are light, slightly sour German style wheat ales. When Napoleon’s troops occupied Germany, they called them “Champagne of The North,” but some Germans call them the workers’ sparkling wine. This beer is the perfect refresher for a warm summer day. We used 50% wheat and 50% barley to make this beer. The sourness comes from a partial fermentation with lactobacillus bacteria. We then finish fermentation with our house ale yeast. You can expect a lemony aroma and tartness from this beer and a touch of wheatiness in the background. It truly is sparkling lemonade. It is unfiltered, so it will be slightly cloudy.
