American Wheat
This beer style is a natural refresher, thanks to its subtle fruity flavor and mild hop character. And because it’s full of toasted biscuit tastes and bread-like aromas, it’s every bit balanced as it is smooth.
Did You Know?
Most American Wheat beers are served with the yeast still in the beer, which gives this style its signature cloudy appearance.

Glassware
A pint glass is best for this style because the shape allows enough room for the 1-1.5 inch foam head typically found in American Wheat beers. And if you really want to lock in this beer’s aroma, pour into a weizen glass.

Food Pairings
-
Cheese: American Wheat beers can add a fruity complement to fruity cheeses like peach goat cheese or raspberry Bella Vitano while the sweetness of the beer contrasts the tangy qualities of each.
-
The lightly bready wheat malt in the beer pairs well with spicy orange peel chicken, Kung Pao chicken, or spicy teriyaki chicken or beef Skewers. This style also adds bright complexity to the heat of spicy Pad Thai while providing a sweet contrast to the salty, savory sauce.
