I've long been a fan of wheat beers, and having to occasionally visit Germany with work, I look forward to enjoying the odd pint of weisse while I'm there. However, it's always been difficult finding a decent one at home.
Enter Manchester's Cloudwater Brew Co. who specialise in creating modern, seasonal beers.
Brewed using wheat malt, Europils smoked, light Munich and Carafa Special Type 3 malts, along with Perle hops, they have produced one of the most authentically German wheat beers I've found in the UK.
I'm back in Germany in March and this has whet my appetite to try more home-grown hefeweizen.
Verdict: 4.5/5
