Josephsbrau Hefeweizen
Like all of the products we sell, Trader Joe’s takes beers very seriously. This is well illustrated in Josephsbrau Bavarian Style Hefeweizen. Though it’s made for us through a partnership with one of the foremost crafter breweries of the West Coast, it’s brewed with imported malt and hops under the strictest interpretation of the Reinheitsgebot, a strict set of laws from 16th century Bavaria that determined that beers could only contain barley, hops, and water. Of course, the Reinheitsgebot has been updated since the 16th century to make way for other beer styles, including Hefeweizen, which necessarily includes wheat in its recipe.
Josephsbrau Hefeweizen is fermented with a special wheat beer yeast strain from Bavaria (hefeweizen literally means: “wheat yeast”). This unique yeast produces an array of flavors typical of an authentic Hefeweizen including: citrus, clove, banana, and even hints of bubble gum. This beer’s unfiltered golden color, combined with its lightly hopped, lightly malted character, makes it wonderfully refreshing to sip by itself. It also pairs extremely well with a grilled Uncured Bavarian Bratwurst or our Sweet Italian Chicken Sausage.
