Smuttlabs: Blueberry Short Weisse

The newest release in Smuttlabs’ ongoing series of berliner-style weissbiers, Blueberry Short Weisse gets its refreshing tartness from lactobacillus, an acid-producing bacteria that’s responsible for some of our favorite fermented foods like yogurt, pickles and salami. Of course, in Berlin, these mouth-puckering wheat beers are commonly offered mit schuss, which means the bartender may add a shot of raspberry or woodruff syrup upon the customer’s request. We’ve done the work for the bartender and added real fruit to our brew. For this particular release, we wanted to shout out a fruit that screams New England and one that, in the 21 years since Smuttynose has been open, we’ve never found a use for... until now.
