Morganton, N.C., is not the first place that comes to mind when you think of Berliner Weisse, the sour low alcohol German wheat beer that can chase away a summer heat wave. But Catawba Valley Brewing, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains makes one that I had the chance to try on draft this evening.
Catawba Valley Berliner Weisse pours an attractive golden color with a thin white head. The beer has a tart sour edge that covers over most of the malt. It would have been interesting to try this one like they do in Germany with a little raspberry syrup to help cut the sourness. Overall, a decent representation of the style.
