Description
Almost a thousand years ago the Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan was the monastery brewery of the Benedictine monks. Then, the Royal Bavarian State Brewery, it is now operating as a state directed enterprise under the control of the Bavarian Government. As the oldest still existing brewery in the world it stands upon the Weihenstephan hill, surrounded by the comparatively very young Weihenstephan science center of the Technical University of Munich. And so, a unique tradition and brewing culture developed over the centuries.

Today, Korbinian’s heirs use the most modern technology, but they never forget their own history and their own high standards. This allowes us to brew a variety of beers of the highest possible quality.

500ml bottle, ale gafa, nalalem do szklanki pszenicznej, myslac ze to pszeniczne bezalkoholowe, bo takie wiekszosc produkuja tu. coz malenka piana, zero smaku niczym brak awansu Niemcow na mundialu (otwarte podczas meczu z lepszym Paragwajem). Zlociste, malo chmielne, nadmiernie slodowe.

Bottle at Hops, Crewe. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small foamy white head. Yeast dominates the aroma, but there are also hints of malts and chewy sweets. Quite sweet in the mouth but these is also a little underlying sharpness. Flavours are the usual wheat suspects (yeast, banana, cloves) but coming through very strongly. Also traces of honey and crispy bread rolls). Sweetness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is excellent – a truly classic German style wheat beer.

Flarra som Smeden bjöd på midsommardagen . Finns på bolaget 34kr kostar den men smeden tror han köpt den på Kioskh i Danmark till helt annat pris. Ja ja . Den smakar skumbanab och är tydligt gräddig i konsistensen . Bra sommaröl . Annars inget dricka till provning
