South German-Style Hefeweizen/Hefeweissbier

Authentic wheat beer, brewed in the Southern German tradition, won the Silver Medal in 1997 and the Gold Medal at the 2000 in Denver, Colorado. Penn Weizen is top-fermented, cask-conditioned, and very effervescent with a slight hint of tangy clove flavor.

Once upon a time, Weissbier could only be brewed by ducal privilege. Hofbräuhaus enjoyed this exclusive right for nearly 200 years, thus holding a monopoly on Weissbier in Bavaria.

But even without a monopoly, Münchner Weisse is a really special kind of beer. What could be more pleasurable than quenching your thirst with a deliciously yeasty Weissbier, and savouring the tingling, fizzy sensation in your mouth? With an alcoholic content of around 5.1% volume, it’s pure, refreshing enjoyment.

Type: Top-fermented Weissbier, aka Weizenbier (from Weizen = wheat)

Hacker-Pschorr Weisse is the company’s flagship style, catering to young adults in the U.S. who seek out authentic experiences and distinctive tastes.

Hacker-Pschorr Weisse is a centuries-old German wheat beer from Bavaria that offers a refreshing taste that is apres anything. Wheat beer was originated in the German state of Bavaria in the 15th century. In Germany, it is typically called Weisse beer meaning white or Weizen meaning wheat.

Brewed from imported German wheat malt & two-row barley, this Bavarian style weiss bier has incredible flavor & aroma. Brewed unfiltered (cloudy), the unique yeast strain provided banana, clove & fruity esters that blend with the malty sweetness & light Hallertau hop character to produce this soft yet well balanced summer ale.
