Berliner Weisse in SD?

My only guess would be to look out for bottles of Bruery Hottenroth...I saw them in Whole Foods stores as of yesterday up here in LA.

 

Just pick up the ken fritz 1809, it's a solid example of the style.

 

+1 on Hottenroth, good beer at a really good price

 

Not SD brewery but one u can find in SD, Ale Industries has one, in a 12oz bottle.

 

Are you referring to the East Bayliner Weisse. I would advise the op to stay away from that one.

 

Black Market 1945 bottle may be floating around

 

Good to know, thanks. saw it and was texting my friend who lives right by that place to ask him about but he hadn't tried it either.

 

I drain pour my bottle, that thing was diacetyl bomb.

Thats some good stuff right there.

 

Stone World Bistro & Gardens and Hamiltons Tavern have Bear Republic Tartare on per taphunter... I cannot speak to accuracy, so would call ahead to confirm.

I'd be there in a flash if I were in the area.

 

tartare is amazing

 

I want to second (or third) Black Market 1945. It's excellent, and the brewery is in Temecula, just north of SD, so I think it should be easy to get somewhere in the SD area.

Also, the Prof Fritz Briem 1809 (German, so not local; also, I think this is what was meant by 'Ken Fritz' above) is top-notch, one of the best you can find. Definitely seek it out if you're trying the style for the first time.

 

It's pretty outstanding, but I'm pretty sure it's a seasonal release, so it's actually not that easy to get. I think they release it around this time, though, so it should be pretty widely available soon. But last year I remember it coming and going fairly quickly.

 

Yeah, at it's price point, Black Market 1945 is a must.

Basically, it's the antithesis of East Bayliner Weisse.

 

Try Firestone Walker's Bretta Rose

 

Just found out Lightning Brewing in Poway makes ones
