The Sunray Wheat is a German-style unfiltered wheat beer brewed with a touch of local Georgia Coast Tupelo honey from the Savannah Bee Company.

Its inviting banana and sweet clove like aroma gives way to a pleasant, clean finish with a hint of tartness.

Best With: 
Georgia meets Germany with this beer so experiment with some old country cuisine…semmelknodel anyone? Or.. bratwurst, stone ground mustard & potato salad. Great with Limburger or Camembert cheese.

Product - Bitburger
Brewed By: 
Bitburger
Self-Defined Style: 
Pilsner
Strength (ABV): 
4.8% ABV

Germany's best selling draught beer. Balanced taste of freshness and distinctive but crisp hop character.

Best With: 
A great gold pilsner will always work with all seafood dishes, clear broth soups and tapas. This brew also lends itself nicely jambalaya, falafels, and certain Caribbean dishes. Don't forget a good pilsner will always work with bar foods especially brats.

In the early 17th century, a small order of monks migrated from Italy to what is now the city of Munich. These were the Paulaner monks. During the Lenten season, the monks were mandated to maintain abstinence of all foods other than bread and water. One enterprising young monk, Brother Barnabus, reasoned that since bread contains grains, yeast and herbs it was permissible to brew a hearty, nourishing beverage to help sustain them while not violating their Lenten observance.
