AboutHofbräu München
Hofbräu München began in 1589, when Duke Wilhelm V established a court brewery to supply Bavaria’s ruling household. A second brewhouse followed at the Platzl in 1607, and the brewery gained permission to sell to the public in 1610. It became Bavarian state property in 1852 and moved production to Riem in 1988.
Brewing starts with water drawn from the brewery’s own well, approximately 150 metres deep. Malt is sourced largely from Bavaria, hops come from Hallertau, and the brewery maintains its own yeast cultures for both top- and bottom-fermented beers.
Hofbräu Schwarze Weisse
German Beer
$7.49
Ripe banana and clove lead a dark, gently aromatic wheat-beer profile. The palate is velvety and lively, balancing subtle caramel sweetness with light roasted malt, forest honey and plum. Minimal bitterness allows the fruit and malt to stay clear, while fine carbonation keeps the finish smooth and refreshing. Serve well chilled with roast pork, game, aged cheese or a restrained chocolate dessert.

Banana and apricot lead a bright, gently yeasty aroma, followed by clove and a touch of vanilla. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, with lively carbonation lifting the ripe fruit and soft wheat character. Mild bitterness keeps the finish clean and refreshing, while the spice remains measured. Serve well chilled with poultry, grilled fish, seafood, mild cheese or a light fruit dessert.
