Canada, NS: Rockbottom Brewpub releases Hasukappu Weisse brewed with Haskap berries

Rockbottom Brewpub brewmaster announced on July, 26 details of his latest unique creation.

Hasukappu Weisse is a 5.0% abv German-style wheat beer brewed with Haskap berries, a nutritious and anti-oxidant rich berry that was originally grown in Japan, where it is known as hasukappu or “little presents on the end of branches”.

Two versions of Hasukappu Weisse have been brewed, with the first going on tap on July, 27, and the second to follow after it runs out. Following that, Nash will be tweaking his recipe to create the final official version. This is believed to be the first commercially brewed Haskap berry beer in North America.
