The Vitus by Weihenstephaner near München, Germany is an excellent beer! As a home-brewer, I just bought a yeast variety from this fine brewing institution. Today, as I brew beer, I think fondly of Bavaria and the great beer brewed there. Bavaria brings to mind a few very distinctive styles, of which the wheat beer is the one that seems most inspiring. Brewed to drink during the winter, this 7.7% ABV Weizenbock is a strong wheat beer for sure. The flocculent yeast brings strong flavor, aroma, and the estery character to this beer. When I tasted this beer at the Tap-House Munich, I was blown away at the full and delicious flavor of this brew. It made me think of everything German I have ever tasted, and for a second I thought I could speak German too. Anyway, this beer, as well as my last adventure in Germany was great, and I hope you get a chance to taste this winter favorite of Bavaria! Prost to the Vitus, ein ausgezeichnetes bier!
