Message ContemplateBeer beers 2092 º places 154 º 05:41 Thu 5/24/2012 Originally posted by GodOfThunder Originally posted by 502Flavors One of the silliest debates yet on RB Of course it is. We’re merely setting bait for people who actually care about this stuff. I don’t think there is a single Florida "homer" who cares what it is called. Though, I’m calling it Floridaweiss, because it is fun and because I want more of it made in my state. Miami Weiss is an insult to the good people of Tampa/St. Pete who have helped move along this beer revolution in the Sunshine State. It will be Floridaweiss. So, all of you midwesterners, sitting in your sweatshirts by the fire drinking Winter Warmers, can shut your mouths. I am wearing a robe, thank you!
Message gkost beers 1069 º places 32 º 05:43 Thu 5/24/2012 Originally posted by hopscotch If fruity berliners become known throughout the world as Floridaweisse, I take full credit since I created the name on the facebook page for Berliner Bash on the Bay. FACEBOOK, man. Important shit. Know that... and you’re welcome. I just KNEW that if I stuck around ratebeer long enough and kept throwing shitty ideas out there, one day, some way, one would finally hit and stick... and then I would actually matter. Oh, sorry, not true. Term was coined many many months ago by Ben Romano. But nice try. HA!

Message biggsbowler beers 635 º places 22 º 06:11 Thu 5/24/2012 Gulfport Weisse would be more accurate, since Doug at Pegs started it.
Message MacBoost beers 2074 º places 37 º 06:12 Thu 5/24/2012 Florida Weisse smacks of elitism and Florida Homerism, so it has to to be Miami Weisse.

Message gkost beers 1069 º places 32 º 06:15 Thu 5/24/2012 It has to be Florida Weisse to encompass the whole state. Miami Weisse is hilarious though.

Message CheesedMan beers 555 º places 12 º 06:39 Thu 5/24/2012 Originally posted by biggsbowler Gulfport Weisse would be more accurate, since Doug at Pegs started it. Before 2002? If that is the going to be reason, Montreal Weisse might be more apt.
