Summit Hefe Weizen
January 28th thru February 3rd
Brewer's Description
Summit Hefe Weizen bier (hay-fa-vite-zen beer) means "wheat beer with yeast." Originally brewed in Bavaria, it's now a traditional brew in Europe thanks to its light, elegant taste. After being filtered, a bit of German brewer's yeast is left behind to keep it fresh. This also gives it a cloudy appearance.
Made with 2-Row Harrington and Wheat Malt (66%), and Williamette, Fuggle, and Tettenanger Hops. It's 4.9% alcohol and 14 IBUs.

Yes, summery. I’ve taken to drinking wheat beers with a spritz of lemon in place of orange juice for breakfast. It’s a summer thing. Winter, I don’t bother getting out of bed.I like this stuff. Very refreshing. Not a beer staple (wheat beers give me gas), but a beer to mark summer occasions.Makes me want to kick back on the porch at sunset to watch the sun set. Which makes me wish I had a porch. And makes me wish my apartment’s view wasn’t dominated by other apartments. So point me to the nearest wading pool.
