Kuchlbauer Weisse 500ml Bottle

Brauerei zum Kuchlbauer is a Bavarian weissbier (wheat beer) specialist. They brew in accordance with the Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516 to traditional recipes.

One of their main beers, this soft, round-bodied Hefeweissbier has delicate and mildly bitter hops and an extremely balanced finish that makes you want to drink more every time.

Kuchlbauer can be regarded as one of the oldest breweries in the world: it can trace its origins back to 1300 when a brewery in Abensberg obtained official brewing rights from the local court. It is now run by the 9th generation of the Horsch family, who acquired the brewery and the restaurant Zum Kuchlbauer in 1904.

Using the best local ingredients from the surrounding agricultural regions, they have long-term procurment partnerships – including organic producers – supplying hops from the Hallertau, Bavarian Jura and Gäuboden grown barley; plus their own pure water from a private well and self-bred strains of yeast.

The brewery emphasises sustainability and social responsibility. They generate their own solar energy system and excess capacity is fed back into the mains grid. The construction of their new logistic centre is ecological and sustainably “climate positive” – built in timber with a ‘garden’ roof.
