Germany, where I come from, produces several noteworthy examples of the traditional Helles Munich Lager – which translates to “bright,” an apt descriptor for my style's exceedingly lively and drinkable character. I rise above the rest with an iconic flavour profile that matches my maker, Weihenstephaner and their legacy as the world’s oldest brewery.
As the best representation of Old Bavaria's native beverage of choice, I pour a glittering pale-yellow hue with a handsome foam head that releases mild biscuit aromas balanced with bittering hops of lemongrass, floral and pepper notes. I am delicate, crisp, and refreshing with unique flavour complexities that are neither too sweet nor too bitter. "Perfect" is what my drinkers call me.

Almost a thousand years ago, in the 1040s, Weihenstephan was known as the monastery brewery of the Benedictine monks. Today, it is the oldest still-existing brewery in the entire world and stands upon the Weihenstephan hill in old Bavaria, surrounded by traditional German countryside. With their rich heritage comes a high level of responsibility to produce consistent and great quality beer. Generations of knowledge, techniques and recipes have been passed down from brewmaster to brewmaster, ensuring that Weihenstephan is still producing the world's most awarded and highly-regarded German beer.
