Once reserved for Bavarian royalty for its light sparkling quality, Hefeweizen is considerably more democratic today. In fact, at Gordon Biersch we've brewed a special batch of our Hefeweizen to serve our guests throughout July and August!
Hundreds of years ago in Germany, wheat beers were considered "breakfast" or "after church" beers, a testament to their light refreshing flavor and a tradition of drinking them on weekend afternoon. We invite you to enjoy our Hefeweizen any day of the week this summer along with our special summer menu.

Draught at DTW, 7/26/22. Deep copper-maize. Lightly hazy. White head is medium, shows moderate retention. Lots of clove but also a strong malt presence. Lots more spicy phenolics in there, not overpowering. Surprisingly malty with lots of classic clove, banana and a hint of nutmeg. Good attenuation. This is shockingly good.

Draught at SJ airport. Nose is mostly clove but rather restrained. Slight fruity esters. Orange-ish gold and hazy with moderate white head. Fruity and slightly cardboard flavor - clean line issue at the airport? Not really any Hefe aspects here.
