Summer is here, and with that, big thirst for refreshing, Bavarian style Weissbeer! This brew is using the coveted Weihenstephan yeast, which was not available to the public until recently. Lore has it that some american college students were standing outside the Weihenstephan brewery in Bavaria and waving towels, thus collecting the spores and being able to re-create this famous beer. Can't wait to find out if this lives up to the standard!
