Wheat
Hefeweizens, witbiers, American wheats, and the occasional grisette that wandered in. A steady, unfashionable family that quietly keeps taprooms in crowd-pleasers all summer.

Hefeweizen 98Witbier 96American Wheat 78
- Hefeweizen98 on record
- German-style wheat beer: hefeweizen, dunkelweizen, kristallweizen, with the banana-and-clove yeast character the tradition is known for. A steady summer filing from houses with a German lean. The label usually names the style plainly, and weissbier or weizen count.
- Witbier96 on record
- Belgian-style wheat with coriander and orange peel, pale and cloudy, low bitterness. Filed as witbier, white ale or Belgian white. A dependable warm-weather filing that rarely trends and rarely disappears; the spice list in the fine print is the tell.
- American Wheat78 on record
- American wheat ale: clean yeast, light body, often a citrus wedge implied on the label. The taproom crowd-pleaser that keeps a summer tap list honest. Filings are unglamorous and steady, and the same label tends to come back every year.
