Had a beer last night called Chorlton Manchester Weisse, i can’t find it on here. I can find this;

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/chorlton-woodruff-berliner/318439/

I’ve e mailed the brewery and they have said this;

"It doesn’t contain woodruff and it’s conditioned on wild yeast taken from a 1980’s bottle of Willner Berlinerweisse from Germany. But the base recipe is the same."

Is this enough of a difference to create a new beer or should this go on the original beer.

Different yeast & no woodruff would make this a new beer, so go ahead and add it. Sounds very interesting, how was it?
