3 September 2026 \/ Together with Schneeeule and its brewer, Ulrike Genz, we brewed three limited-edition Berliner Weisse beers. They made their debut at Berlin Beer Week, which ran from 28 August to 6 September 2026 and showcased the diversity of international and \u2018Berlin-style\u2019 beers through a range of events across the city.<\/p>\n
Authentic Berliner Weisse is one of our brewery\u2019s specialities. Over the years, we have bottled various versions of this Berlin speciality. Lemke Brewery was among the first to bottle a Berliner Weisse based on the traditional method, using Brettanomyces yeast and a multi-stage fermentation process. That was back in 2015 with our Budike Weisse. It was followed by many other variants featuring fruit, woodruff, oak-aged versions, or even an \u2018Imperial Weisse\u2019 with a higher original gravity and alcohol content.<\/p>\n
Brewer Ulrike Genz, too, has been wholly dedicated to Berlin sour beer for years. With her brand Schneeeule, she has, just like us, championed the \u2018authentic\u2019 Berliner Weisse beyond Berlin\u2019s borders. In a sense, Schneeeule\u2019s origins can even be traced back to us: around 2014, whilst studying at the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin), Ulrike Genz conducted research with us into the fundamentals of Berliner Weisse. Back then, Oli Lemke had initiated research into Berliner Weisse together with TU professor Methner. Ulrike Genz was one of the first students to carry out practical research under Lemke\u2019s supervision. Incidentally, the collaboration with the TU Berlin is still ongoing today, with Oli Lemke now supervising the seventh thesis.<\/p>\n
All three Berliner Weisse beers produced as part of this collaboration are traditionally brewed using Brettanomyces yeast and lactic acid cultures:<\/p>\n
Dit Dufte \u2013 plain, 3.0%: no additives, closest to the historical original<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Dit Schicke \u2013 lavender, 3.0%: delicate floral aromas that harmonise very well with the beer\u2019s natural acidity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Dit Wilde \u2013 Blackberry, 3.5%: fruity and full-bodied, with blackberry juice and fermented blackberry leaves for a tart note<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The three collaboration beers can be purchased from the Lemke Brewery\u2019s online shop. Each variety is available as a single-variety pack in various sizes, as well as a small mixed pack containing two bottles of each variety for tasting and comparison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
