Frequently Asked Questions About Weihenstephaner wheat beer
Where is Weihenstephaner wheat beer brewed?
Weihenstephaner wheat beer is brewed at the Weihenstephan brewery in Freising, Bavaria, Germany. Its Bavarian origin is reflected in the wheat-beer styles associated with the brewery.
Is Weihenstephaner wheat beer the same as Hefeweizen?
Often, yes: Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier is a German Hefeweizen, meaning a cloudy, yeast-containing wheat beer. The brand also makes other wheat-beer styles, so the exact type depends on the name printed on the bottle.
What varieties of Weihenstephaner wheat beer are there?
Weihenstephaner offers several wheat-beer varieties, including Hefeweissbier, filtered Kristallweißbier and the stronger Vitus. They differ in clarity, body and strength, so check the specific variety name rather than assuming every bottle is the same.
How much alcohol is in Weihenstephaner wheat beer?
Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Classic contains 5.4% alcohol by volume. Other Weihenstephaner wheat-beer varieties can have different strengths, so use the ABV shown on the bottle for the exact product.
What glass should you use for Weihenstephaner wheat beer?
Serve Weihenstephaner wheat beer in a tall, tapered wheat-beer glass. Its shape leaves room for the generous foam and helps release the beer’s aroma; a clean, tall glass is a practical alternative.
Should you swirl the bottle before pouring Weihenstephaner wheat beer?
You can gently swirl the final little bit of Weihenstephaner wheat beer in its bottle to lift the settled yeast. Pour the beer slowly into a glass first, then add the yeast if you want it distributed throughout.
Why does Weihenstephaner wheat beer have yeast at the bottom of the bottle?
Yeast settles at the bottom of many unfiltered Weihenstephaner wheat-beer bottles because some yeast remains in the beer after fermentation. The sediment is expected; pour carefully if you prefer a clearer glass, or gently mix it in.
What food goes well with Weihenstephaner wheat beer?
Weihenstephaner wheat beer pairs well with roast chicken, grilled sausages, pretzels and mild cheeses. Its fruity, gently spicy yeast character also works with lightly seasoned seafood and dishes that are not heavily sauced.
How should you store an unopened Weihenstephaner wheat beer?
Keep unopened Weihenstephaner wheat beer in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight and heat. Chilling it before serving preserves its refreshing character; avoid leaving the bottle somewhere warm for a long period.
Does Weihenstephaner wheat beer taste like banana?
It can have a banana-like aroma, especially in the Hefeweissbier style, but Weihenstephaner wheat beer is not necessarily made with bananas. The aroma comes from compounds produced by the yeast during fermentation.

What is Weihenstephaner wheat beer?
Weihenstephaner wheat beer is a Bavarian German beer brewed with wheat and barley malt. Its yeast often leaves it naturally hazy, with a generous head and a soft, rounded body. Expect familiar wheat-beer notes of ripe banana and clove, with gentle fruitiness and spice rather than a strongly bitter finish.
It is usually poured into a tall glass and enjoyed chilled, alongside casual meals, grilled food or savoury snacks. Its energy comes mainly from carbohydrates; it has no fat and only a little protein. For a lighter pairing, serve it with salad or grilled vegetables instead of fried snacks.
