German Wave – Craft Beer Cocktail
On a visit to the Westmalle Trappist Café, I discovered the beer cocktail on their menu. Tripel with grenadine? This was a surprise at first, but when I thought about the concept—a Berliner Weisse is commonly served with a little woodruff or raspberry syrup—it’s not so strange. This craft beer cocktails is an easy way to add a little island feel to your luau at home or party, by adding the flavors of pineapple, orange and woodruff, with the Berliner Weisse lactic wheaty flavor profile. You’ll need to make Pineapple Orange Fire Spice Foam recipe for this craft beer cocktail.
