Scheuerer Breweries was founded by Lorenz Scheuerer in 1887. The family owned brewery has been handed down four generations to its current owner and Brew Diploma-Engineer, Erhard Scheuerer. The brewery is located in the Oberpfalzer region in the little town of Moosbach, only a few kilometers from the Czech border.

I bought this unfiltered weissbeer from a German webshop at the price of 1,49 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 5,0%.

Beautiful and deep orange colour to this hazy beer.

Large head with a rough structure.

Medium aroma with a sweet and wheated fruit.

Good CO2, pleasant sweet fruit, no hops that shines through. Not complex enough in the taste.

Aldersbacher Kloster – Weisse

GS6A9021

Aldersbach Brewery was first mentioned in a ruling of Count Albert von Hals to the monastery’s monks in 1268. Then, it still used to be a small brewery that mainly produced beer for private use. In 1803 Aldersbach was affected by secularisation. Both brewery and monastery were sold. In 1811 the family of the Baron von Aretin bought the two buildings.

The brewery was restored around 1900. The first wheat beer was first brewed in 1928. Management, administration and shop is still in 2016 run by the von Aretin family.

Nowadays, the brewery presents a total of 13 different beers in its product line. By constantly enhancing its products and modernizing the brewery, for instance, the new brewhouse and bottling filling line make Aldersbach Brewery a successful and modern medium-sized enterprise.

I bought this unfiltered weissbeer from a German webshop at the price of 1,49 Euro for a 500 ml bottle at 5,5%.

Beautiful light yellow and only slightly hazy unfiltered beer.

Large and rough head, a thin and fine top stays on.

Good sweet aroma with a fresh play of wheat.

Good CO2, powerful fruit that is just splendid and sweet. Long after taste.

The Franziskaner brewery can be dated back to 1363 where it is described in texts as the brewery town at monastery near Munich, Germany. In 1841 a huge and completely  new brewery was build in Lilienberg, a town outside Munich. In 1922 the Spaten brewery fusioned with the Fraziskaner brewery and they became Spaten-Franziskaner-Leistbräu AG. In 2005 the brewery was bought by the large InBev cooperation.

Schneider Weisse – Tap 11 – Unsere Leichte Weisse

Georg I Schneider was the creator of the Schneider Weisse Original recipe, which is still used today. Two-hundred years ago, wheat beer could only be brewed by the Bavarian royal family in their breweries. In 1872, King Ludwig II discontinued brewing wheat beer due to a steady decline in sales.

Georg I Schneider was sold the exclusive right to brew wheat beer. Today, Georg VI Schneider is running the brewery in Kelheim, which the family acquired in 1927 and has remained the Schneider Weisse brewery to this day. It is the oldest wheat beer brewery in Bavaria. Wheat beer has been brewed there without interruption since its founding in the year 1607.

Yellow and unfiltered beer.

Small head that disappears quickly.

The aroma comes off with a light fruit and a hint of wheat.

Good CO2, light and sweet fruit, fresh and easy to drink, as easy as it is to drink it is also a little too light with a thin and too short after taste.

The aroma is overly sweet, wheated and with some darkness to it.

Powerful CO2, dark and malted with fresh wheat in the after taste, some hint of slightly bitter green plant in the end.
