More information about Schampus Weisse 2017
Some brewers went all out for their Schampus Weiße Vintage. First, the teams from Freigeist Bierkultur, Bayerischer Bahnhof and Schneeeule met at the Vormann brewery in Hagen. This was in 2017, and with combined brewing power, a wheat draught beer was brewed. The fine wheat beer was refined with lactic acid bacteria and fermented a further three times in a long and complex process.
The yeast strain Saccaromyces, which has a strong character, was used for the normal beer yeast fermentation. Brettanomyces yeast, which also has a strong flavor, was then added to the brew and the beer was allowed to mature in wooden barrels for two and a half years.
After this extensive ageing, a fine champagne yeast came into play: the beer was filled into champagne bottles with this yeast and fermented for a further round. Finally, the yeast was removed from the neck of the bottle, just as is done with exquisite sparkling wines.
At the end of this odyssey of a brewing process is the Vintage Schampus Weiße 2017, a beer that could not be more refined.
The fine drop flows into the glass in transparent pale gold and carries a lacy veil of white foam on its sparkling body. On the nose, the complex beer presents itself with elegant notes of green apples, freshly mown grass, natural yoghurt and spicy yeast.
The first taste follows the olfactory first impression and reveals a light-footed beer with notes of various yeasts, white grapes and a hint of wood.

Snowy Owl
Berliner Weisse is Ulrike Genz's favorite beer and the reason she started brewing in the first place. As a Berliner, it was and still is her desire to give good, traditional beer back to her hometown. With a lot of heart and craft, she has built up the Schneeeule label and brews wonderfully refreshing beer in a one-woman process and fine creations like Schampus Weiß Vintage, which was created in cooperation with Bayerischer Bahnhof and Freigeist Bierkultur. Snowy Owl Ulrike came up with these unusual names while taking a closer look at the Berliner Weisse: Crowned by 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 large owl spreading its wings. Extraordinary is the name of...
