Brooklyn Schneider Hopfen Weisse

This Beer is served on DRAFT and in 750ml BROOKLYN bottles.

In May 2007, Garrett Oliver traveled to the 400 yr-old Schneider brewery in Kelheim, Germany, to brew Schneider-Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse. This was dry-hopped with the local Hallertauer Saphir hop variety. In July, Drexler brought his yeast to Brooklyn and brewed Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse, choosing the American Amarillo and Palisade varieties for the dry-hopping. Now you can taste the result, the latest beer in our Brewmaster's Reserve series. The beer has a full orange color and the aromatics pair the banana and clove notes from the Schneider yeast with the mango and citrus qualities of the hops. The bitterness is robust but balanced, and the beer has a clean, hoppy finish. Brooklyner-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse pairs well with Caribbean seafood preparations, crab cakes, jerk chicken, Thai cuisine, Szechuan cooking and many Mexican dishes."

Description:
In 1984, Associated Press correspondent Steve Hindy returned from a six-year stint in the Middle East and settled in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood. Hindy had caught the homebreweing bug from diplomats stationed in Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait where alcoholic beverages were forbidden. With his downstairs neighbor, Tom Potter, Hindy quit his job and founded The Brooklyn Brewery in 1988. And thus their flagship brew, Brooklyn Lager, began its steady march to recognition as one of America's highest regarded beers. By 1996, with renowned traditional beer expert Garrett Oliver at the helm as Brewmaster, The Brooklyn Brewery brought brewing back to the once mighty brewing center of Brooklyn. Now in the middle of an expansion at our Williamsburg, Brooklyn facility, The Brewery is poised to continue to churn out some of the most creative and leading styles of beer in America.

Style: Weizenbock

  • Though sometimes referred to as wheat Doppelbocks, Weizenbocks are not all that closely related to actual Bock beers. Weizenbocks are ales while Bock beers are lagers. The use of ale yeast is important to creating the fruity flavors that are characteristic of this style, while lager yeast are used in Bock beers to create cleaner, less fruity flavors. The term bock or Doppelbock in the context of these beers is a reference to their alcoholic strength.
