Grand Teton Brewing: In Berliner Weisse, we think we’ve found the perfect style for our summer seasonal. This north German-style wheat beer is traditionally brewed and released very fresh. It has a light body from the wheat and a refreshingly tart acidity that make it a perfect summer thirst-quencher. Its lemony tartness is provided by fermentation with Lactobacillus, the same microorganism that’s responsible for yogurt’s tang. That tartness increases and improves with age, so the people of Berlin are known to buy extra bottles to bury in their gardens for two years or more. We’ve taken a traditional style and added our own twist; we’ve tripled the strength over the traditional beer, which will increase its aging potential.
Snarling Badger Berliner Weisse will be available July 1, 2015
