Wookie,

Have you heard about the Hopfweisen that's being put out as a collaboration between Brooklyn and Schneider Weisse? I have no idea if you can get it yet, but basically the head brewer at Schneider was visiting/talking with Garret Oliver at Brooklyn and discussing how lightly German beers are typically hopped. Nothing like American ales. So they decided to brew two separate "hopfweisens." They brewed one at Schneider in Germany that's basically a Bavarian hefe heavily hopped with American hops. They then brewed (or are going to brew soon) a hefe at Brooklyn heavily hopped with German hops.

I really doubt I'll ever get to try it, but you may want to be on the lookout or do a little googling for it since you're in the NY area.
