Wit is such a fantastic style. I don’t see many breweries making it, but whenever they do I make sure to try it, and am rarely disappointed.

SUCH a fantastic style. It’s true that you tend to see craft breweries going down the hefe road more often. I think hefes have a little bit more name value with beer drinkers, maybe that’s why.

@@BeerBrackets I also think hefes generally have less of that estery, phenolic flavor, so are a little more friendly toward the average consumer.

Love me some hefeweizen! Weihenstephaner hefe is still one of my faves.

Same!

For years I could not drink beer, never liked it. Until one day I was in Germany and this British fellow I made friends with told me he was in the same boat as me, but to try this wheat beer he was drinking. I could actually finish the glass. Slowly been finding trying Hefeweizens to enjoy when out with friends instead being the only guy ordering wine at a brewery.

I have a friend who's the only one that asks for bourbon when at a brewery, so I know the kind of reaction you must get sometimes. I can absolutely see how Hefeweizens are a great way to dip your toes into the beer world. They lack a lot of the bitterness, harshness and heaviness that a lot of beers have which turn some people off. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment Cristian!

Hefeweizen is definitely up there as one of my favorite styles. Never realized hefe meant yeast and referred to that specific strain. Great info boys! Cheers 🍻

Can you guys do a review on Hop City Barking Squirrel. It’s one of my favourite easy drinking beers.

Thanks so much for watching Evan! The barking squirrel is a great one, I can get it pretty easily in Ontario where I am. Unfortunately alessandro can’t get it in Florida so we can’t do a review of it ☹️ Would have loved to though. Let us know if you have any other favorites.

Hefes (German) and Trappist (Belgian and English) beers all use the same types of yeast strand. I've always known this style being called "Spicy Ales", because the yeast gives them notes of spices and fermented fruits. I believe they are also LOT more expensive to produce than regular wheat beers like Blue Moon and Boulevard. My favorite American version has to be "New Belgium Trippel" from New Belgium brewery, technically a Trappist ale but drinks very much like a Paulaner Hefeweizen.

I’ve heard such fantastic things about New Belgium, but unfortunately I’ve never seen any of their beers for sale here in Canada. I’ll keep my eyes open for their tripel though.

Erdinger is champagne for common people 🎉

I love this style of beer. My favorite. The German kind. Not a huge fan of Blue moon. To much citrus flavor. Thanks for the informative video!

Thanks for watching and taking the time to reach out! Agreed, German wheat beers are the way to go, without a doubt.

I can only drink Hefeweizen

Only Hefeweizen for me, I think Hacker Pschorr is my preference although there are many great German examples. Paulaner is an obvious choice too. Texture and taste is amazing is cold enough.

Hey PMR, if you can find it, Schneider-Weisse is very good! I am a big Paulaner and Franzikaner fan too.

Correct! One is an organic compound and one is a vegetable. Their aromas are very similar however and evoke a lot of the same characteristics.

Great question! I’ve had some delicious craft Hefes in the US before of course, but the big brands are just aimed at a different crowd I think. Especially a beer like blue moon which goes hard on the orange zest.
