Our Berliner Weisse is a tart, fruity, highly effervescent and refreshing ale that is relatively low in alcohol. At only 3.4% ABV, this highly-sessionable brew has a light body and a very dry finish. A regional specialty of Berlin, it was referred to by Napoleon's troops in 1809 as the "Champagne of the north," due to its lively and elegant character. Described by some as the most purely refreshing beer in the world, only two traditional German breweries still produce this style.
