Easily Obtained Berliners in MA

White Birch makes one, and if I recall correctly it's priced pretty affordably. I can't comment on how good it is, but it's readily available.

 

Aside from the previously mentioned White Birch, I've seen Evil Twin Justin Blåbær, especially on tap. Smuttynose Short Batch #7 - Strawberry Short Weisse is making the rounds as well. Intergalactic Acid Berliner Weiss was around this summer, maybe still at some places?

 

They had Bruery Hottenroth for $10 at Federal Wine and Spirits as of a week ago.

 

I have seen Hopfenstark's Boson De Higgs around which is a bit different take on a Berlinner. It's a Rauchbier/ Berlinner hybrid. Worth a try just to have it though I much prefer their Berlin Alexanderplatz.

 

You should be able to find Bayerischer Bahnhof Berliner Style Weisse and Brettanomyces Lambicus Berliner Style Weisse

 

It's a style called Lichtenhainer. And speaking of which, Freigeist Abraxas is available, too. Although I've seen it only with this label

 

Where are you still finding the Brett Lambicus?

 

The slightly boozier version, Abraxxxas, was on tap at Hobo recently..might still be. Interesting beer..drinks easy enough if you don't mind a very mild smoke.

 

This one IS the boozier version. Unless there is an even boozier one. I liked it, too. Not mind blowing but quite interesting and easy drinking.

Now since you asked... I can't remember The regular one I saw in Berman's in Lexington. Perhaps they have the brett one as well. It is possible that Gordon's on Main St. in Waltham or Marty's in Newton still have it.

 

Abraxxxas is great, I'm brewing a lichtnhainer right now. Pretty stoked

 

I really enjoyed Intergalactic Acid, especially at the $5 for a bomber price point.
