Sometime I'll tell you about my grand theory that links craft brewing to punk rock. Just ask.

Schell’s Hefeweizen is on the way…
Look for August Schell Hefeweizen on store shelves near you soon. Dave told me that they packaged the beer last week, so no doubt you’ll see it soon.
Schell’s Hefeweizen is made with 60% wheat malts and 40% barley malt. We use an authentic wheat beer yeast culture, which gives the beer a fruity ale character dominated by a citrus-like tartness. A slice of lemon is traditionally served with this type of wheat beer.
