Looking for info on a Berliner....

The closest one to me is in Brooklyn

EDIT: Although that one looks like it's not the Brett style you're looking for?

 

i was extra'd this in a trade in the past. i am fairly certain we do not get it around here.

 

It was a B. United import, and was available in NJ via Hunterdon distributors a couple of years ago now, but can't think of a recent sighting.

Notice that on the B. United site that it's now in a larger bottle, and not the original "steinie" 11.2 oz bottle, so perhaps new batches have hit these shores?

 

Both the regular and lambicus editions have been available in PA both in bottles and on draft.

The regular one pops up from time to time but the lambicus version i honestly think was a one and done. The brewery website doesnt give details on either (possibly because it is out of season?)

I have retired from trading otherwise I would offer you a bottle of each.

Edit: Jesskidden ladies and gentleman possibly proving me wrong and putting a huge smile on my face. Large format bottle for another release? I hope its true and not just one of those cases where both were originally made available but the smaller bottles were more widely available.

 

I was able to pick up a couple bottles of this at Wine Works in Marlton, NJ this past May/June. I have not seen anything about the larger bottle that is mentioned above. Maybe give WW a call?

 

I picked up a bottle in the Philly suburbs maybe 1.5 years ago, but I haven't seen bottles anywhere since. It has showed up on tap around DC several times since then, so either they're still making it or they made a lot of kegs that they held back.

 

Wasn't cheap (receipt dated Nov. 2011, Cranbury BuyRite).



And to think I used to complain about Berliner Kindl Weisse's $12/sixpack price before it left the US market.

 

I swear I've seen that beer on the shelf before, but it may have been at Charleston Beer Exchange. The fact that it was made by the Leipziger Gose guys leads me to believe it was distributed here, but it looks like that was two years ago, so they're probably gone.

 

$5 for the 11.2oz bottle

 

jesskidden, you never fail to amaze me. are you sure you're not some sort of super computer sent from the future that will eventually take over the world?

 

Capone's had this a while ago, was maybe $8 or so and I passed.

 

If there were ever a cellar to bring me out of retirement, it would be Hack's, especially if he has his sights set on something

 

Oh well, guess I won't be sending you infor. on the new Berliner just came on at Peekskill after all.

OP I am also looking for more of this delightful treat, and will certainly let you know if I find some. Hopefully you will do the same? As it turns out I have two bottles of another really good Berliner to trade to you if you find it first and care to send my way.

 

I have two bottles of this were supposed to have gone to someone who has posted in this thread and apparently no longer trades,

mmmm Peach

and I also have 4 growlers of Peekskill Brewery Simple Sour in the cellar right now, am looking to trade them for other Berliner Weisse I can't get here/now, including that fantastic Lambicus Edition mentioned, if any are found. If you want to conv. me about this please do.
