You are about to enjoy Lightning Brewery’s Sauerstorm Ale, a German-style Berliner Weisse - a beer style characteristic of summer beer from the Berlin area of Germany. Traditionally this beer is served with a dash of tart raspberry syrup to enhance both beer and fruit flavors. We have brewed this beer with pilsner malt, malted wheat, water, hops and yeast. Please note Sauerstorm Ale is bottled unfiltered for greater flavor. If you like more haze in your beer, you may gently roll the bottle before decanting to your glass.
Our bier de garde, or beer at the ready! Typically brewed in Western Europe in the spring for use on the farm in the fall, we have ours available year-round.
The Thunderweizen is brewed in the style of a traditional German Hefeweizen: lots of wheat, vigorous fermentation, and completely unfiltered for a full, refreshing flavor that perfectly compliments San Diego’s perpetual good weather. Despite the hints of banana, citrus, clove, and other spices, we do not add additives to our beer - that impressive flavor is naturally produced.
