About the Brewery
Weihenstephan Brewery in Freising, Bavaria claims to be the world's oldest continuously operating brewery, with records of hop cultivation on the site dating back to 768 AD and a brewing license granted in 1040. Today operated by the Bavarian State Brewing Academy, Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier is one of the most decorated and revered wheat beers in the world — a golden, hazy Bavarian hefeweizen bursting with banana ester and clove phenol aromas from the brewery's centuries-old yeast strain.
