Day 32: Hefeweizen beer from Konig Ludwig

Few things in life better than beer on tap. A snappy bitterness, with very light citrus and banana notes, with more subtlety than Hoegaarden. I had it served with a perfect temperature and a perfect head, and when it's done like that, sometimes I don't even care WHAT beer I'm drinking. It's amazing!

On Konig Ludwig Brewery:

The König Ludwig GmbH & Co. is a brewery with headquarters located in Upper Bavaria. Their slogan "Beer of royal highness," refers to the brewery's heritage which can be traced back through the Kingdom of Bavaria. The current proprietor, Prince Luitpold of the House of Wittelsbach, is the great-grandson of the last King of Bavaria, Ludwig III.

The House of Wittelsbach began the first brewery in 1260. 32 years later, Herzog Rudolf built the Schloss Kaltenberg, which houses a part of the brewery's facilities today. The brewery as it exists today was opened in 1870.

On Weissbier (from company website):
Our wheat beer, König Ludwig Weißbier, is brewed using traditional methods and is bottle fermented (the “méthode champenoise”). This produces a lively, refreshing beer with a tight head and flavour notes of apple and bananas, which is highly accepted in many parts of the world. In its home market, König Ludwig Weißbier is among the top 6 wheat beer brands and is widely recognized as a Bavarian specialty.
