INDIA PALE WEIZEN (W/WEIHENSTEPHAN) Download BeerXML
THIS BEER IS
BrewDog vs. Weihenstephan India Pale Weizen kicked off a new direction for our collaborations. We took a simple concept (by our standards) and teamed up with the oldest brewery in the world to brew a mash-up beer using the signature styles of both breweries.
India Pale Weizen has classic base hefeweizen aromas and flavours of banana, clove and bubblegum, with a distinctive haziness. Layered on top of this is a tapestry of US citrus hop character. India Pale Weizen is a perfect symbiosis of traditional and modern brewing.

BREWER'S TIP
Let the fermentation temperature creep up a couple of degrees higher than normal to create the characteristic banana and bubblegum aromas.
