Gebrouwen Door Vrouwen Glüh wheat

The days are getting shorter, the light is getting scarcer and the temperatures are slowly dropping - time for coziness and fine, spicy drinks!

This seasonal specialty divides the nation: some have been longing for the mulled wine season for months, while others remember burnt palates and headaches the next morning at the thought of hot wine. Fortunately, there is an alternative that everyone will enjoy and is easy on the mouth: the delicious Glüh Weizen from the Gebrouwen door Vrouwen brewery!

The ladies from the Netherlands looked around for a drinkable, palatable winter beer and found none that met their requirements. The vast majority of seasonal Christmas and winter beers are massive, full of flavor and voluminous. This goes wonderfully with icy nights with sub-zero temperatures and a thick blanket of snow, but does not harmonize with the mild winter in Holland. The brewers decided to do the only sensible thing and created a beer themselves that is wintry, but not too strong. Their Glüh Weizen combines the classic aroma of a wheat beer with Christmas spices: cinnamon, cloves and star anise give the beer its wintry glow and conjure up a Christmassy atmosphere in the glass without being overly sweet or too heavy. The subtle spice elegantly complements the traditional notes of ripe bananas and strong yeast, creating a special kind of wheat beer.
