We did it….again!
Ebel’s Weiss won the silver medal for the second time in two years at Great American Beer Festival 2013.
“The same medal, two years in a row, for the same style is a huge accomplishment. It goes to show that as our brand continues to grow, our consistency is still uncompromised. And that’s something that we will always value as individuals and as a company,” explains Jason Ebel.
Almost 5,000 different brews were submitted to the judging panel of Great American Beer Festival last weekend. The South German-Style Hefeweizen category is described on Beer Advocate:
“A south German style of wheat beer (weissbier) made with a typical ratio of 50:50, or even higher, wheat. A yeast that produces a unique phenolic flavors of banana and cloves with an often dry and tart edge, some spiciness, bubblegum or notes of apples. Little hop bitterness, and a moderate level of alcohol. The “Hefe” prefix means “with yeast”, hence the beers unfiltered and cloudy appearance. Poured into a traditional Weizen glass, the Hefeweizen can be one sexy looking beer.” (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/89))
And one sexy looking Ebel’s Weiss Beer it is. We’re very proud of our brew and looking forward to a three-peat next year!
