Opa Bier Hefe Weizen

by Opa Bier · Beer · Joinville (Santa Catarina), Brazil

6% ABVBrazil

Hefe Weizen is the wheat beer from Opa Bier, a brewery in Joinville, Santa Catarina, created in 2006 to revive the city's brewing tradition, where the first brewery, Schmalz, was founded in 1852 by the Swiss Albrecht Gabriel Schmalz. Opa means grandfather in German, a tribute to the founders' ancestors, and the house presents the Hefe Weizen as its jewel.

It follows the German wheat style: it is brewed with wheat and barley malts and is not filtered, which leaves it hazy and straw-colored. It is 6% alcohol with 12 IBU of bitterness and is sold in a 600 ml bottle. The brewery recommends serving it between 2 and 5 °C, in a weizen glass, with spicy dishes from German, Indian and Mexican cuisine.
