Franziskaner is a really nice example of the style IIRC. So are some of the other German imports. It’s tough to get them fresh though. In the US market I’ve heard that Live Oak (Texas) has a great one (as well as other beers) but I’ve never had it. It’s a tough style for craft breweries to make money on since it takes specialized yeast and it’s usually not a big seller. Yeast is very expensive so the one way breweries can maximize profits without raising prices or cutting corners is to crop yeast and get multiple uses from one batch. That’s just not feasible with hefeweizens. Sorry I can’t be more help, but it’s not my favorite style and it’s been a long time since I’ve had one. My go to craft wheat beers are American Wheat beers. I like Oberon from Bell’s and Gumballhead from Three Floyd’s. But they’re not going to taste like a hefe. thanks. Great insight and answers why I don’t see more in the US. In terms of wheat I also like Bells. Will have to try Three Floyd’s. I also like Troges Dreamweaver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s delicious so it’s easy to get into trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, might be the year I finally partake. I chickened out at my two Hammer Lot tailgates in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
