Wheat beer is distinguished by its use of wheat in the brewing process, which gives it a smooth texture and a hazy, cloudy appearance. This style is known for its refreshing qualities and is often brewed with flavours like citrus and coriander. If you enjoy light, refreshing beers, you might also like our Pale Ale collection for similar flavour profiles.

Popular Types of Wheat Beer

Wheat beers come in various styles, including German hefeweizens, Belgian witbiers, and American wheat ales. Hefeweizens are known for their banana and clove aromas, while witbiers offer a spicy, citrusy character. American wheat ales, on the other hand, are often slightly hoppier and crisper. For more craft options, check out our Craft Beer collection.

Wheat Beer and Food Pairings

Wheat beer is incredibly food-friendly, pairing well with light dishes such as seafood, salads, and grilled chicken. It’s also a fantastic choice for spicy foods, as its light body and slight sweetness help balance heat. Try pairing your wheat beer with a cheese board for an unforgettable combination.

The History of Wheat Beer

Wheat beer has a long history, with origins dating back to ancient Egypt. It became especially popular in Germany and Belgium, where it evolved into the classic hefeweizen and witbier styles we know today. If you enjoy the historical aspect of beer, consider exploring our Belgium collection to discover more traditional brews.

The Rise of American Wheat Beers

While wheat beer is traditionally associated with Germany and Belgium, American breweries have put their own twist on the style. American wheat beers often have a cleaner finish and sometimes incorporate hops, giving them a unique character. If you're interested in exploring more American styles, take a look at our USA collection for a broader range of options.

How to Serve and Enjoy Wheat Beer

Wheat beer is best enjoyed fresh and served chilled. It’s typically poured with a bit of a swirl to ensure the yeast and sediment mix into the beer, enhancing its flavour and haziness. Serve in a tall glass to showcase its colour and aroma. For other refreshing options, check out our Lager & Pilsner collection.
