India Pale Weizen (w/ Weihenstephan)
BrewDog Versus Weihenstephan.
BrewDog vs. Weihenstephan India Pale Weizen kicked off a new direction for our collaborations. We took a simple concept (by our standards) and teamed up with the oldest brewery in the world to brew a mash-up beer using the signature styles of both breweries. India Pale Weizen has classic base hefeweizen aromas and flavours of banana, clove and bubblegum, with a distinctive haziness. Layered on top of this is a tapestry of US citrus hop character. India Pale Weizen is a perfect symbiosis of traditional and modern brewing.
