Breithaupt Weiße

English translation: a type of beer

German term or phrase:Breithaupt Weiße
English translation:a type of beer

Marketing - Tourism & Travel / name of a beer
German term or phrase: Breithaupt Weiße
Viele Persönlichkeiten kehrten hier schon ein, unter anderem wohnte Ferdinand Graf Zeppelin hier, und Albert Einstein lies sich bei Oma Müller gerne einmal eine »Breithaupt Weiße« schmecken.

This is publicity for a restaurant, and it's the syntax of the clause that I don't grasp (I should think Einstein would be the one who was pleased; so why is it "gerne," not "gern"?), as well as the quoted words. I think "Breithaupt Weiße" has got to be the name of a white wine, but I can't confirm it. Oma Müller is the person who ran the restaurant.

Thanks!

a type of beer
Explanation:
Susan - "Weiße" is often used to mean "Weißbier" - google "Breithaupt Weißbier" and you'll see that Breithaupt is the name of the brewery (Berliner Weißbierbrauerei AG). As for gern/gerne, it's used interchangeably and can be placed either after "sich" or "Oma Müller". Einstein apparently often popped in to drink a Weißbier, served to him by Oma Müller.

eine »Breithaupt Weiße«
an almost alcohol free beer typical for the Berlin region


Explanation:
It contains very little alcohol so that even older children can drink it.
"Breithaupt" refers to the foam which form on the "semi-beer" when it's mixed with either Waldmeister (woodroof) or Himbeer (raspberry)

agree  British Diana: that's right- in fact it's brownish and white wine is greenish

  -> Seems like you know this type of alcohol free beer. One must try it to know what it's like. Thank you, Diana.
