About Hefeweizen by Little Brown Jug Brewing Company

A hazy German wheat beer with notes of banana, clove, and bread. Little Brown Jug's Hefeweizen brings you tropical flavours and a creamy mouthfeel with traditional ingredients. No sugar or fruit was added in the making of this beer.⁠

Fun fact: In German, "hefe" refers to the yeast that is suspended in the beer and gives it a cloudy appearance, and "weizen" means wheat.⁠

You'll be saying, "Noch ein Bier, bitte!" in no time!⁠

This Hefeweizen was inspired by traditional breweries and Little Brown Jug's mash contains over 70% wheat and German Weihenstephan Weizen Yeast. Not every brewhouse can handle what it takes to make a good Hefeweizen. Little Brown Jug has invested in optimal equipment to make the best beer possible. This allows them to follow a very ambitious mash schedule, which includes 7 different temperature rests over 2.5 hours to target different enzymes in the mash. They include a rest to produce more ferulic acid. During fermentation, yeast converts this ferulic acid into 4-vinyl guaiacol for the clove aroma and flavour. Why is this important? Without a healthy balance of clove flavour your Hefewizen would be a banana bomb and balance is kind of their thing. Exercising this level of control provides as much opportunity for goodness and deliciousness as possible!⁠

While enjoying your Hefeweizen don't forget the traditional 'cheers' in German. Prost!
