Once reserved for Bavarian royalty for its light, sparkling quality. Later, wheat
beers were considered breakfast or after church beers, a testament to their crisp,
refreshing flavor.

finish.
Original gravity: 11.2° Plato Alcohol by volume: 4.30%

A smooth, refreshing lager, lightly hopped with a dry finish. The demand was so high
when it was first brewed in the 1870s, that it was “exported” to other regions in Germany

MÄRZEN(Maert-zen)
A dry, auburn-colored, Bavarian lager with a mildly sweet finish. It was originally brewed in
March (“März” in German) and stored in caves to be drunk during warmer weather.
