If you enjoy this bottle, we highly encourage you to stop by our taproom and try it with added syrup.

This seemingly strange tradition originated in the late 19th century when German drinkers began to find their beloved Berliner Weisse a touch too tart. To soften the acidity in these wheat ales, they added sweeteners.

Originally, they favoured kümmel (a caraway-based liqueur) or Korn aka Kornbrand or Kornbranntwein (a colourless, distilled beverage produced from fermented cereal grain seed.) Over time, German bar staff began making their own syrups in-house.

Today, some of the most popular sweeteners are the green-tinged woodruff (waldmeister) syrup, based on the sweet-scented bedstraw plant, and a pink raspberry syrup known as himbeersaft.

Our team has prepared three syrups of our own for you to add to your pint of Berliner Weisse.

• Strawberry Basil
• Pear Apple Lychee
• Bergamot Tea
