I'm glad that someone in Berlin has realised the sorry state of Berliner Weisse and decided to do something about it.

Bogk-Bier Privatbrauerei

I hope it's the start of a revival for this much abused beer style.


Yes, plenty of people have given Berliner Weiss a go in the US. But that's never going to have the resonance as a Berlin-brewed beer. At least not with me.

I still dream of the beer whose label you can see to the right. Of all the beers that have disappeared since I started drinking, it's the loss that saddens me the most.

Can't wait to try the new Berliner Weisse. From Berlin.
