Medium-bodied, classically proportioned, with perfect balance.

Cool Factor

Ayinger has been producing incomparable Beers for more than 130 years. This is a taste of Bavaria in the glass.

Value Grade

This is a tremendous value and considering the craftsmanship and the fact that these beers are in such demand the price is certainly fair.

Analysis

The great Beers from Ayinger have been available in the US for more than two decades. Their Brauweisse is absolutely traditional with the expected Ayinger complexity and depth of flavors.

How to Enjoy

Serve chilled in a classic Bavarian Weizen glass. Skip the fruit. Enjoy with weiss-wurst, pretzels, or crab legs.
