Not written about Berliner Weisse for ages. And this wasn’t really planned. I didn’t wake up this morning and think “Let’s look into Berliner Weisse”. (Actually, it was “I must search for ‘kieg beer’ in the newspaper archive.)
Strange, the way I stumble through research. And how I come to look in certain books.
This all started with Twitter. A tweet about a Berlin brewery I recognised. The former Schultheiss Weissbier brewery in Prenzlauer Berg. Which is what I tweeted back. Only to be told only Lager had ever been brewed there.
I was pretty sure I was right, if only because I can remember it being open. Where to look? I web search got me to the German Wiikipedia and one of my own web pages. Luckily I’ve an excellent book on Berliner Weisse, published by the VLB. "Die Berliner Weisse", by Gerolf Annemüller, Hans-J. Manger and Peter Lietz, published in 2008.
I needed to check whether it had been the Weißbierbrauerei E. Willner. One of the handy tables at the back of the book confirmed it was the brewery on Berlinerstrasse. I scanned the page to post on Twitter. Then thought that I may as well scan all the tables. Much easier to find stuff when it’s in an electronic form.
Here’s the first table:
