The Spirit of Weissbier

The Weissbier, a timeless symbol of Bavarian brewing artistry, is a top-fermented wheat ale that delights the senses with its creamy, mousse-like foam and naturally cloudy appearance. This gentle haze comes from its high proportion of wheat—at least 50% malted wheat, though many brewers use more—balanced by a touch of barley malt to create perfect harmony in the glass.

A Symphony of Aromas and Flavors

Fermented with distinctive German yeast strains, Weissbier unfolds in layers of aroma and flavor that are unmistakable: clove, banana, a hint of smoke, and sometimes even a playful touch of bubble gum. The taste is mildly malty, softly bitter, and deeply satisfying. Though traditional bottle fermentation is now rare, Weissbier has preserved its light body, silky texture, and lively effervescence—traits that make it instantly recognizable.

From Ancient Roots to Modern Renaissance

While today it is inseparable from Bavaria, the story of wheat beer began long before. Its European roots trace back to Bohemia, in what is now the Czech Republic, from where it made its way into German brewing tradition. Over the centuries, Weissbier saw its share of decline, nearly disappearing at one point. Yet, in the 1960s, it rose once again—reclaiming its place among the world’s most cherished beer styles.

Perfect Pairings

Unfiltered and hazy, it's soft, lively, and great with salads, seafood, or light seasonal foods.

With every sip, Weissbier celebrates centuries of craft and culture—a living expression of German brewing heritage that continues to inspire beer lovers around the world.
