Back in 1602 Weissbier could only be brewed by ducal privilege. It was Munich’s first Hefe Weizen. Hofbräuhaus enjoyed this exclusive right for nearly 200 years, thus holding a monopoly on Weissbier in Bavaria.
But even without a monopoly, Hofbräu Hefe Weizen is a really special kind of beer. Characterized by its sparkling rich foam and distinguished by its unforgettable refreshing and fruity taste. It is brewed according to an ancient tradition and offers an alcoholic content of approximately 5.1% by volume. Savor the pure, refreshing enjoyment!
The Southampton Double White is a "double strength" or "double gravity" version of a classic Belgian-style white ale. White Ales are unfiltered wheat-based brews with a unique citrus and spice character that comes from the use of orange peel and ground coriander seed in the brewing process.

Each batch of Oude Kriek offers different aromas and flavors only based on the century old knowledge of the Hanssens family. After the blending, the Kriek (with 70 kg of black Belgian cherries per 600 Lt. barrel) is bottled, corked and stored in the cellar for secondary fermentation at 50o-55oF for over one year. The taste is full of sour cherries with hints of wildness and oak that blends well with the extreme acidity, and slight residual sweetness.
The brewers blend aged lambic and younger lambic, to taste, and refermentation occurs in the bottle after capping.

Cuvée René has been imported into the US since the early 90s, a time when the "sour beer" category didn't exist here.
