Summer is here and it’s Weiss season. Hooray! Light, crisp, tart and refreshing wheat beer is the brew to enjoy when the temperatures rise. Our Hefe Weiss is brewed with a real Bavarian German yeast strain yielding aromas of cloves, banana and other spices. This pale yellow, cloudy beer is the second in our series of wheat beer styles. Hefe is German for yeast and Weiss (Vice) means white, referring to the wheat used in brewing this style of beer. We named our Weiss after Viola Turner. Viola began her career at the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in 1920 as a humble, smart and spunky secretary. She eventually became the company’s treasurer and main connection to the larger financial world. In a bold move at that time, she was responsible for putting the company on Wall Street. She was the first woman to be appointed to the Board of Directors in 1960, as the Vice-President Treasurer. Hops Used: Mt. Hood
