AboutSchneider Weisse
Georg Schneider secured the right to brew wheat beer in 1872 and founded Schneider Weisse in Munich with his son. In 1928 the family bought Kelheim’s Weisses Bräuhaus, a wheat-beer brewing site dating to 1607. The Bavarian family business has now passed through seven generations.
Its wheat beers ferment in open vats, with the foam skimmed by hand. They are bottled or kegged without filtration or heat treatment, then undergo a second fermentation in the bottle or keg.
Schneider’s Bayrisch Hell Helles Lager
German Beer
$4.99
Bright straw-yellow and clear, this Bavarian lager balances soft bready malt with delicate floral and grassy hop notes. Hints of honey and lemon add quiet detail without changing its clean, traditional shape. The palate is smooth and gently rounded, finishing crisp, snappy and refreshing. Serve cold with roast chicken, sausages, schnitzel, pretzels or mild cheeses, where the restrained malt and hop balance can remain front and centre.
