Mahr's Weisse
Country of Origin: Germany
Brewery: Mahr’s
Beer Style: Wheat Beer
Alcohol By Volume: 5.0%
Format: 500ml bottles, 50L kegs

Rare unfiltered, unpasteurized German wheat beer that has become the new benchmark for a classic Weisse.

This is an incredibly round-flavored and full dimensional Weisse, with a surprisingly low a.b.v. – only 4.9%. The very best ingredients, and the brewery’s refusal to pasteurize or filter the beer, make all the difference. Other breweries filter out the yeast from their hefe-weizens, and then “re-seed” them with inactive yeasts – usually a different yeast from the one that fermented the beer. (Some of the larger breweries are reportedly re-seeding with corn starch!) The integrity and dedication to authenticity of the Mahr’s brewers guarantees the highest quality and flavor in Germany.

A larger brewery simply could not make beer like this – unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bursting with flavor. We at Shelton Brothers have been going to Mahr’s for years to enjoy these classics in their natural setting, and have finally convinced the brewers to let us bring some of them over to share with American beer lovers.
