Kapuziner Weißbier

Kapuziner Weißbier is a traditional German Hefeweizen produced by Kulmbacher Brauerei AG, a brewery based in Kulmbach, Bavaria. The brewery was founded in 1846 and is known for its rich history in beer production. The brand 'Kapuziner' is named after the Capuchin monks, reflecting the brewery's heritage. In 2016, Kulmbacher Brauerei AG was acquired by Brau Holding International GmbH, which now holds a 62.66% stake in the company. The beer is brewed using a traditional method with equal portions of wheat and barley malt, fresh hops, and a special yeast that imparts fruity flavors. It has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 5.4% and is unfiltered, resulting in a hazy appearance. The beer is vegan-friendly, adhering to the German Reinheitsgebot (beer purity law), which ensures that only water, malt, hops, and yeast are used in its production. Kapuziner Weißbier is available in various packaging, including 500ml bottles and 5L mini-kegs. It is distributed in multiple countries, including the United States, where it is available in select stores and online retailers. The beer pairs well with German cuisine, salads, fish, shellfish, and tangy cheeses such as Brick, Edam, and Feta.
