    Didn't see a post for this yet, but the Great Lakes forum provides enough evidence that this is the next Thumbprint release and should already be on shelves in some places in WI. Assuming the label description remains the same:

    Napoleon hailed this tart beer style "the Champagne of the North." A lively and elegant masterpiece this Berliner Weiss is a kaleidoscope of fresh flavor. Barrel fermentation, Riesling grapes and Wisconsin White Wheat are bottle fermented with five proprietary yeast strains. A connoisseur's rare jewel both spirited and subtle, enjoy your sparkling toast under summer stars.

    Can't wait to pick up a couple 4-packs this weekend!

    I saw it at Discount Liquor in Milwaukee today and picked up a 4 pack. They got a ton in. Should be good with some raspberry syz-zurp.

    The cost of all NG Thumbprint 4-pack releases are consistent (fixed). Most retail stores charge between $9 and $12 (usually $9.99 or $10.99). Single bottles usually go for about $3 at most bottle shops.

    Alright cool, thanks! I had one of these from the last release of it and really liked it. Thinking of coming out of my no shipping trading hiatus for this guy! Definitely ISO, time to put together some offer.

    That's an amazing price for a quality Berliner Weiss (at least here in the US). I wish I got New Glarus, I love their stuff. Every time I go to Wisconsin, I make sure to get my fill of it. Anyone want to trade some New Glarus for off the shelf California stuff, send me a BM and we will work something out.

    Anyone know if this uses East Coast Yeast? I heard they were working with him to get some of his cultures.

    It's possible, but I would guess not. My guess would be that it uses the same yeast as when it was brewed in 2008. Which I think would have been before ECY started selling their wares.

    My GF will be in Minneapolis this weekend. Any chance of finding this in Hudson? I loved the last NG Berliner Weiss.

    It was delivered state wide this week, so I'd say the chances are good.

    Check the Cassanova's thread in the Midwest Forum. I think the folks from Minneapolis were discussing this earlier today.
