Some brewers only produce this style as a summer seasonal, but there are others that are brewed year- round. And, of course, I must make special mention of my favorite wheat beer of all, Schneider Weiss, a product of Bavaria. You won t find many wheat beers in your local grocery store. This style is growing in popularity, but it still makes up only a few percentage points of the total beer market. Since its share is so low, it has nowhere to go but up.
Wheat beer is a good change of pace from the more popular styles.
I don t normally like lighter beers, but I like wheat beer. The smooth, grainy, and sometimes fruity taste makes a good companion during the summer heat. I would choose a wheat beer over a light American- style lager any day. It s the kind of beer that tastes great while your lying back on a hammock, soaking in the rays of the sun. If you haven t tried wheat beer, go ahead and imbibe some when you get the chance.
