Weisse City Raspberry

Tap to rate

Weisse City Raspberry is a sour, refreshing wheat beer in the Berliner Weisse tradition, at 3.8%. It is kettle soured and brewed with raspberry purée, so the fruit is part of the beer from the start. The idea is to recreate the traditional way of serving the style with a shot of syrup, with the berry set against the sourness of the base beer.
