Forgive me for saying something less than 100% positive in a beer style fanboy thread.

In what way do you think you're contributing to this conversation?

 

[drgarage1]

I love Berliners, but like all sours, it's really hit and miss to buy, especially off the shelf. My favorite, yet to be mentioned here yet, is the Lambicus from Bahnhof. I have to assume Uli was involved. Magic.

There's very little more pleasurable in life than a tall glass of well-made Berliner weisse. In terms of attempts that I've enjoyed recently, Schell's Star of the North is pretty fantastic.

A few weeks ago........BerlinerPalooza.

DeGarde Blu Bu (yes, more DG, love) and Night Shift Ever Weisse were 1 & 1A out of 20-25 or so different Berliners. I saw someone mention they liked the Kuhnhenn Berliner earlier in the thread and I am all like:

Dead last in Berliner tasting......(do not bang)

I will see what I can do. My buddy took the pic and I know there is some other stuff that was mixed in there beside Berliners.

So, no other berliner bangings took place this weekend?

I got 64oz of Goose Island Berliner talking **** in my fridge...may or may not kill that this week. I feel like I need to concoct a super crazy straw and fill 4-5 berliner bowls/goblets and use a single straw that dips into all the glasses for a super sip session.

With the weather getting cooler (frost already) im thinking of blasting my fireplace and sitting directly infront of it to feel like proper berliner consuming weather.

That was one of my favorite beers from Great Taste this year. Excellent berliner

 

[lazerviking]

Ok, im getting thirsty. which one of you philly guys can get me some growlers and meet me at pizza boy for an IP exchange?

Hey stakem, looks like I'm actually going to be driving from Philly to Pittsburgh the evening of November 1. I was going to fly but flights are crazy expensive. I would be happy to do do a quick meetup at Pizza Boy on my way out if your interested. I'll come with TH growlers in tow.

 

[xnicknj]

Anyone ever have the Deschutes Champagne of the North berliner? I tried it at the PDX pub location, I think they only brew it onsite - super tasty though, I wish they would put it into production.

I did that drive relatively recently. It's not so bad.

I had it a few weeks ago. A bit grainier and less sour than what I'm looking for in the style, but it's undeniably well-made.

Berliner weiss has been my beer of choice most of the past summer. My favorite non fruited berliner would have to be Homewood Flossmore's berliner. They knocked it out of the park. If anyone is close to chicago, you need tohead over there next time u go to fff amd get yourself a big O goblet of it. Amazing beer!

The one in the middle I have consumed 3-4 times and never took a pic. The one to the left is the same beer but 25 years older. I am planning a berliner tasting and these all will be opened along with no less than 20 other berliners.

Thats what I hear. Though, I am a hermit who rarely leaves his house.
We should dock tips sometime. nomsayin?

[Auror]

Piscataquaweisse for the game tonight. Just seems New Englandy (and appropriate color).

As for the beer taste: you have to really like plums.

 

[PurityControl88]

Pretty new to the style. Really enjoyed the New Glarus and Crabtree offerings.

What should I try next (still trying to get my local breweries to brew them)?

 

[black_cascade]

Did you try the seven seas/pint defiance Berliner? Maybe you've posted about it in here...I'm too lazy to check.
