    Sadly it was a one-time-only thing.

    I feel the same about Lowenbrau. Probably because it's the only one of the Munich "big six" breweries that doesn't export to the United States.

    Not equal. (And that's not a knock against Coors Light) :slight_smile:

    Yes, I am well aware of your dislike of that beer, but I like it on its own merits regardless of its truth to style. :wink:

    And please, it's far from the worst Berliner Weisse made - there are plenty of examples in the US vying for that title. :stuck_out_tongue:

    It wouldn't surprise me to see a coffee Berliner Weiss, or one with cocoa nibs. BBA, too, natch! :wink:

    That is sad. Must have been fun while it lasted though!

    An impossibly tough question, but as patto1ro noted in a great post on his website, it's hard to beat an Augustiner helles vom holzfass.

    It's really hard to beat Celebrator.

    I recently discovered Andechs Dopplebock a few months ago and it blew me away. Celebrator and Schlenkerla Marzen come in second and third. Hackar-Pschoor Oktoberfest is up there too.

    There are many others but these really stick out

    Yeah, that's a good one too!

    Founders released its 20th anniversary beer today, a BBA Eisbock called Tank Bender. I'm looking forward to trying it. I don't think I've ever had a BBA version of an Eisbock before. It's a bit pricey, at $20.

    It was a Gose rather than a Berliner Weisse, but I can imagine you would have not been very impressed with what I can only call the New England Style Gose I had in Pittsburgh last month! :slight_smile:

    It was actually quite tasty for what it was (and what it was was not a Gose).
