Basil

Berliner Weisse meets Mediterranean Herb

Schneeeule Brewery from Berlin is dedicated to reviving Berliner Weisse – far removed from syrup and artificial sweeteners, instead with genuine craftsmanship. For the Basil variety, the classic, spontaneously lactic-acid fermented Weisse is refined with fresh basil.

The result is a hazy, honey-colored beer with sparkling acidity and an unmistakable, spicy-fresh basil note that gives the traditional style a Mediterranean twist.
