Sorry. I posted a new Wetherspoon's Real Ale Festival thread before I realised what this thread was about.

Brains-wiesse wiesse baby ,never tasted it but an inspired name. If I saw it I'd have to give it a go.

Brains-wiesse wiesse baby... an inspired name.

Not with this spelling (& therefore pronunciation) - I didn't get it, until I found it's actually Weiss Weiss Baby.
Put this on the pedant thread, if you wish, but it's meant to be explanatory, not critical.

Now for criticism. Wheat beers. I don't get it. They put me off on an aesthetic level, and don't improve on tasting. Don't like it Sir? No wonder - you've not yet got a wedge of lemon or orange in it! Yeah right!
One that I could manage happily was Oakham White Dwarf -clear - you wouldnt know it was a wheat beer and, indeed, I note this morning that their site says it no longer is...

Ska brewing - Modus Hoperandi

I have to say I've never gotten on with Wheat beers,hence I haven't tried that many though I'm sure like all beer some are better than others.

i didnt check the spelling for the Brains beer but used the German normal style which is wiesse for wheat beers rather than the rarely used weiss which is white beer.i stand corrected. cheers

Strictly speaking, "weizen" means 'wheat', although it is almost interchangeable with "weiss" (or "weiß") meaning 'white' in most German regions when followed (whether actually or in an implied manner) by the word "bier". However, when used after a town or brewery name (e.g. Berliner or Franziskaner) it becomes becomes "weisse".
