GS6A3294

Fanø brewery is located on the small island Fanø just outside of Esbjerg, Denmark. The brewery was founded in 2006 from 3500 people putting money together to open a brewery on the island, at this time there is about 150 small breweries in Denmark and they have to close the brewery down in December 2008, competition was too hard.

The brewery was bought by an investment company in 2009, a different tactic and a lot of hard to work to sell the beer local have made the brewery sustainable in business.

I bought this Erica wheat beer at Hjerting Hotel in Hjerting, some 10 kilometers north of Esbjerg, Denmark at the price of 4,5 Euro for a 500ml bottle at 5%.

The colour is yellow and unfiltered hazy.

A small white head that settles fast to almost nothing.

Fruity aroma with a hint of honey and Erica.

Low CO2, weak sweet fruit, easy to drink, some hint of Erica and honey. This wheat beer tries to add some local and different to the wheat genre with the added honey and Erica, but the match is not there for me.

Beautiful yellow colour with a orange glow to the unfiltered beer.

The head is medium sized, thick fine foam and it stays while drinking the beer.

A sweet floral aroma with a light hops to it.

Low CO2, dominated by the flowers in the taste and the hops gives a light bitterness.

Mixing pale ale hops into a weissbier resembles for a wit beer in my taste.

Schneider Weisse – Tap 7 – Unser original

GS6A2759

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.

I bought this weissbier in a local supermarket in Odense, Denmark at the price of 3,5 Euro for a 500ml bottle at 5,4%.
