    Outside of Night Shift's excellent offerings, Fritz 1809 and Dogfish Head Festina Peche what are some easily obtained Berliners in MA? I am in love with this style. Thanks and cheers!

    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.

    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

    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 :slight_smile: 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.
