Hacker-Pschorr Hefe Weisse

Submitted by Roland on Sun, 09/07/2003 - 23:15

My favourite German beer is any "dunkles (dark) hefe weizen" (wheat beer).  Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot  of dunkles available here.  Yet another argument for de-regulation (it would be a great business to import German hefe weizen!).

North American tastes seems to be for the lighter German hefe weizen.  And as Jurgen Goethe states in this week's Georgia Straight,  Hacker-Pschorr Hefe Weisse is an excellent German wheat beer of the non-dark persuasion.  Check it out! It is a perfect refreshing summer beer.

And if you ever get a chance try out a dunkles.  It's more substantial, full bodied and perfect for winter or if you are fanatic like me, perfect year round.

Yes,indeed,Hacker-Pschorr is a great Wheat Beer.I hope to see it stay in the marketplace for sometime. There is a new beer in town.the classic German Pilsener,Furstenberg Premium Pilsener. This is the first German Pilsener beer developed in Germany that adhered to the traditional Czech Pilsner method.It is great,hoppy,with a bold body and dry tingling aftertaste. I've seen it around town and around the Province. I'd recommend it.
