White stallion Weissbier
I lover german weissbier & I decided to come up with my own variation!
I read that german beers are so good due to the purity laws! so I decided to stick to that & go with the authentic; WATER, GRAIN (MALT), HOPS & YEAST Approach! nothing added! except for a bit of honey! but I'm pretty sure this addition (for which I will use a local BRITISH heather honey) will make this beer unique!? I'll keep you all posted!
