About
The Schneeeule Brewery was founded in 2016 by Master Brewer Dipl. Ing. Ulrike Genz. After years of developing the recipe and thorough scientific study of the topic of the Berliner Weisse as a part of her Degree at the TU Berlin, in the spring of 2016 it was finally time and the brewery Schneeeule Berlin was founded. Finally, Berlin has a brewery producing original Berliner Weissr. The goal of the Schneeeule Brewery is nothing less than to give Berlin a piece of it’s culture back: Berliner Weisse. After both devastating world wars, the beer once known far beyond Berlin’s borders as the “Champagne of the North” is now almost only available as barely drinkable mass produced industrial beer. The reputation of the once National Drink of Berlin has been ruined. Master Brewer Ulrike Genz is doing her utmost to change this and to return the Weisse where it belongs; in every Bar and Restaurant worth its name in Berlin, and in a proper glass. All Beers brewed by the Schneeeule Brewery are bottle fermented with Brettanomyces and have matured in the bottle for at least 2 months. Just as it was done 150 years ago.

Tap at Billie’s. Pale golden pour with a thin head. Nose is intense coffee, sweetish malts, light acids. Taste is sweetish malty, with hints of acidic notes and lots of coffee. Light bodied with average carbonation. Much less sour than expected.

330ml bottle. Hazy, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with small, frothy, fading, white head. Veggie, herbal, tangy and lactic aroma, slightly earthy notes of cucumber, gherkin, some dill. Taste is mildly tart, tangy, lactic, herbal and slightly veggie, notes of dill, some sauerkraut, gherkin, cucumber, a touch of brine, mustard seed.
Watery texture, minimally astringent palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
Well balanced, quite refreshing despite some earthy aspects - funny.

Bottle drunk while eating some nachos with hummus and watching what we do in the shadows. Light yellow with almost no head, nose of stone fruits and lychee with big sour notes. Flavor is complex and high in acidity, tasty fresh pears. Not for the faint of heart!

From bottle outside De Bierkoning, Amsterdam, during Carnivale Brettanomyces 2017. Aroma is bready wheat, dough, lemon, and elderberries. Flavour is mildly sour. Body is light with heavy carbonation. Enjoyable Berliner.

0.75l bottle, courtesy of Jonas, big thanks! Hazy pale golden body, the head disappearing quickly. Dry, funky, bretty aroma, fairly elegant. Lean, dry, sweetish taste, citric, ending juicy, dry. Slightly on the astringent side of tartness, but tasty enough for that not to bee too relevant!

Bottle courtesy of Jonas, had this in the company of Jonas, Ursula and Marko Saturday 8th February 2025 at home, Manglham. Pours dark straw colour with a little haze. Super refreshing, a real zappy workout for the mouth, sharp, mouth puckering, tart, there is a lemon and a little sour cream edge. I like this.

Bottle at Café Abseits, Bamberg. Citrussy aroma with Bretty notes, wheat, and tart lemon. Tart and medium sour flavour, light body. The Brett adds some welcome complexity to the Berliner base. Nice one.
