Weyerbacher BlancheClean, refreshing and perhaps just a bit tart, Weyerbacher Blanche was developed by their brewers after a trip to Belgium during the winter of 2000. Blanche, meaning "white", takes its name from the whitish haze in this pale gold Belgian-style brew, which is a result of the raw wheat and wheat malts used to brew it. Light, cloudy and smooth, Weyerbacher Blanche brings you authentic Belgian-style flavor along with microbrewed quality and freshness. In the nose you’ll notice spiciness from the coriander seeds and dried curacao orange peels added during the boil. In the mouth you’ll find a mild and refreshing ale with a hint of dryness from the wheat ingredients. A clean finish follows with just a hint of tart spiciness. Just try a bottle — trust us!
Weyerbacher MuseThis Farmhouse Ale is brewed "somewhat" in the tradition of the style, but it has Weyerbacher fingerprints all over it! Made with Pale malt, a little carapils, raw wheat and raw oats, this warm weather seasonal is dry and ever so slightly tart on the pallet from the wheat and oats. At 6.2% ABV, it's a bit higher than your strictly traditional farmhouse, but not out of the realm, really. The wheat and oats make the mouthfeel silky and light at the same time. They also bring some cloudiness to the brew, but don’t be afraid! Hopped with Styrian Goldings and finished with Saaz, this beer has a noticable hoppy dryness which makes it a fine thirst quencher, something the original Farmhouse Ales were intended to be, served to workers out in the fields on hot summer days as a restorative. Fermented with Forbidden Fruit yeast, at a very high temperature (78°F), the spiciness developed is entirely from this traditional yeast strain, not from any kettle additions. Unfiltered, to enjoy this natural beauty, imagine yourself out in the flat fields of Belgium! Cheers! |
