Hefeweizen

Okay, I'm a filthy pirate hooker for Hefe-Weiss in the Summer months. Love that refreshing wheat-hoppy goodness with a touch of smoke. It just feels like a BBQ. I can almost picture Snoop & Dr. Dre pulling down some ho's tube top as old folks dance at Will Smith's family reunion. Anyway, the BEER! Julius Echter Hefe-Weiss is brewed by the famed Würzburger Hofbräu brewery. The Bavarian purity laws are ridiculously strict, and the results are the tastiest, purest brews that will ever touch your lips.

The first time I tried this classic Hefeweizen (out of Frederick, MD) at a BBQ two years ago, I was blown away. A classic summer wheat beer, with a touch of oaky smoke. Perfect with ribs and steak, and especially with smoked brisket or trout. This is "Me Time" beer. Close your eyes on your backyard deck, take a sip, and imagine the crackling campfire and relax...even if you have to face the grind the next day. A truly "transportable" beer.
