10 Best: Berlin- Berliner Weisse

10 Best series highlights the best things to do in the top cities around the world.

Berliner Weisse is a specialty of Berlin: it's a top fermented,bottle conditioned. wheat beer.
Because it is tart and acidic Berliners mix it with either raspberry or woodruff juice and drink it through a straw (which is quite controversial in Germany).
Napoleon liked his Berliner Weisse without syrup and called it "the champagne of the North".
In the US about 100 years ago this type of beer, made according to the Berliner Weisse method, was the most popular beer in the US.

The Hotel was built on a hilltop on the plan of the ancient masseries, the old apulian farmhouses as a comfortable 4 star resort, a few steps from one of the most pristine seas in Italy. Like the old farmhouses it has its own orchard where seasonal fruits and vegetables are grown for its kitchen. Their family restaurant on the beach right below the hotel is a hot spot and serves the freshest local sea food. From San Gregorio one can hire a boat to ride along the coastline which is dotted with Paleolithic caves and endless coves for bathing. The trip continues to Leuca and its lighthouse. This is the southernmost tip of the peninsula where the Ionian sea and the Adriatic sea meet. If one is in the mood for culture the city Lecce is very close by. This is a jewel of a baroque city with dramatic architecture and a lively scene. Highly recommended. 73053 Loc.
