Hazy, refreshing, and yeast-forward — witbiers, weizens, and Berliner weisses.
Top 100 Craft Beers / Wheat & Wit
From the world's oldest brewery (est. 1040 AD). The global reference point for Hefeweizen — banana, clove, and vanilla with a silky, hazy yellow body. Endlessly sessionable and copied by breweries worldwide.
World's oldest wheat doppelbock (1907). Banana, clove, dark plum, chocolate, and a warming alcohol note from its generous ABV. One of the most complex wheat beers ever made — magnificent when cellar-aged 2–3 years.
America's most beloved witbier — brewed with oats, wheat, coriander, and Curaçao orange peel. Allagash single-handedly popularised the Belgian white style in the US when they launched in 1995. Hazy, spiced, and endlessly refreshing.
Munich's most internationally recognised hefeweizen — the one in every German restaurant worldwide. Classic banana and clove character from an exceptional house yeast, with a cloudy golden body. A perfect summer beer and a pillar of Bavarian brewing heritage.
The world's largest hefeweizen brewery produces a reliably excellent example — yeasty, spicy, and subtly fruity. Erdinger exports more wheat beer globally than any other brewery. A benchmark of accessible Bavarian wheat beer tradition.
