Eric Warner’s “German Wheat Beers,” also from <em>Brewers Publications</em> belongs in your library. When I was in Germany last fall I learned there are German brewers who use it as a reference. Yes, I find that intimidating, however I do hope to pass along research that’s taken place since Eric wrote his book in 1992, about both brewing and ingredients.

What do Widmer Hefeweizen, Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat, Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat and Three Floyds Gumballhead have in common? We call them American Wheat beers. What more would you like to know about them?
I’m particularly interested in hearing for people who drink these beers as well as those seeking advice about how to brew them well. Please leave your question as a comment.

In his ground-breaking book, “The World Guide to Beer,” Michael Jackson wrote that Berliner Weisse was undoubtedly more famous than the Weizen beers from the south. That was in 1977. Today only one Berliner Weisse is still brewed in Berlin, but brewers elsewhere are making similar beers. Or there’s Gose, once wildly popular in the city of Leipzig, then not brewed at all. Today a few German breweries make Gose on a regular basis, while some American brewers are giving it a go. Then there’s Grätzer, a beer brewed with smoked wheat malt. Could it undergo a similar revival?
What would you like to know about Berliner Weisse, about Gose, about Grätzer or even some other historic style you are aware of?
