Releasing on Friday, July 11th, Weiss Grip!
Weiss Grip
German-Style Hefeweizen
5.4% ABV
The German pronunciation of “weiss” sounds like English “vice.” And, like its namesake tool, the idea of producing a classic German wheat beer (weissbier) took a hold of Confluence brewer Kent Middendorf and wouldn’t let go.
After Kent did the initial research and homebrewed trial batches, he and head brewer John Martin collaborated to select a malt bill of 50% German pils and 50% malted wheat, with a little CaraMunich for a touch of color and flavor enhancement, and German noble hops (tettnanger). Traditional German-style hefeweizen yeast added flavors of clove, banana and bubble gum. The “hefe" prefix means "with yeast,” hence Weiss Grip’s unfiltered, hazy, orange color. Try our version of this popular warm weather thirst quencher.
Before you leave, make sure to check out our to-go cooler and grab a 4-pack for home! Beers are available in the taproom only the weekend of the release, but distribution across Iowa will begin the following week.
