Berliner Weisse is a type of Weizenbier (a style of beer made with wheat and barley) brewed exclusively in the area of Berlin, Germany.

Berliner Weisse (spelled Weiße in German) is first mentioned in 1642 by the Berlin doctor J.S.Elsholz, as an enhancement of the beer Broihans from Halberstadt [1]. A famous Weisse drinker was Albrecht von Wallenstein, who during the Thirty Years' War complained in a letter to his subordinate captain Arnim von Boitzenburg that he "does not know how to satisfy his thirst, for [he could] not bear the taste of barley beer". Berlin was hard up for wheat at the time, so that it could not be used for brewing.

Later during the 19th century, Berliner Weisse was the most popular drink in Berlin. Several breweries specialised on this variety. Every third realty hosted a tavern, among which were many inns.

Berliner Weisse contains only around 2.8% vol of alcohol, making it one of the weakest German beers. It is top-fermented, slightly barm-clouded and relatively sour, so the taste of Berliner Weisse differs significant from other German wheat beers.
