    Berliner Weisse in St. Paul

    Anyone know of a place I can get Berliner Weisse in STP/MPLS? Commercial, brewpub, homebrewer or otherwise? I am very interested in brewing the NB kit, but would like to try a few samples to get the taste of Berliner Weisse back in my head to remember if I really like it enough to brew 5 gallons.
