Wiesener Räuberweisse

Wiesener Räuberweisse from Bürgerliches Brauhaus is a great looking Weizen with a rocky head and fruity nose. It’s got a rounded fruity palate with yeast in peeking in from the nose. It’s also got an earthy quality untypical for the style which gives it a moreish quality. It’s a touch stickier than their other beers but not overly so and certainly not for the style. It’s full-flavored and fruity but remains refreshing, something a Weizen should always strive to be.

Framing Unterfranken in Frammersbach

When it comes to beer aficionados, Lower Franconia doesn't get any respect. Before I get accused of playing the Rodney Dangerfield card, I fully understand its relative remoteness and lack of sheer numbers has a lot to do with that. Going to new breweries is exciting so don't lose the sense of adventure. Lower Franconia is a great place to do it just that.
