Berliner Weisse is Ulrike Genz's favorite beer and the reason she started brewing in the first place. As a Berliner, it was and is important to her to give her hometown back its good, traditional beer. With a lot of passion and craftsmanship, she built the Schneeeule label and brews wonderfully refreshing beer and fine creations like the Schaumpus Weiß Vintage in a one-woman process, which was created in cooperation with the Bayerischer Bahnhof and Freigeist Bierkultur .
Ulrike came up with these unusual names when she took a closer look at the Berliner Weisse: Crowned with white foam, the beer shines in bright light yellow. Yellow and white are also the dominant colors of the snowy owl, yellow eyes on white feathers. Ulrike also liked the three consecutive E's in the name, an eye-catcher, just like the monochrome labels with the big owl spreading its wings. The program here is exceptional: not only are the labels and the name special, the beer behind them is also unique. Ulrike from Schneeeule attaches great importance to the balance of her product. She cleverly balances bitter substances, sour notes and malt, so that in the end the result is a total work of art with traditional roots.
What seems very unusual to us is common practice in Berlin: syrup in beer. That wouldn't be on the table for a franc. Neither does Ulrike Genz. Although she comes from the hometown of Berliner Weisse, the beer that is often served with raspberry or woodruff syrup, she thinks that this is a bad habit. As early as the 1920s, people began to balance out the strong acidity of Berliner Weisse with syrup. “Tourist beer” is Ulrike’s comment. The woman from Wedding has made the renaissance of the Berliner Weisse her mission and wants to banish syrup and straws from beer glasses with her creations. Ulrike is a qualified engineer and studied brewing before going on a search for the roots of the Berliner Weisse. She creates her recipes using original yeasts from the bottles of old, leftover Berliner Weisse and achieves what hardly anyone would have thought possible: she brings the Berliner Weisse out of obscurity and makes it socially acceptable again - and all without syrup!
