Tapping a Keg of Braupakt in Chicago

Weihenstephan , Germany’s oldest brewery, founded in 1040 has teamed up with California-based Sierra Nevada Brewery to create a limited edition brew – – Braupakt.

Braupakt is a distinct fusion. Master brewmasters were in Chicago to tap a keg as part of their U.S. tour.  The two companies worked for months to create a unique mildly hoppy Hefeweissbier with citrus tones thsat allows them to take advantage of the German brewery’s proprietary yeast strain combined with American Amarillo hops.

Weissbier is often thought of as summer beer and with a slight tart and bitter flavor, the Braupakt is refreshing and palate cleansing.

They did not indicate how long Braupakt will be available so ask for it at your favorite pub or grab a few bottles now to enjoy the best of the old and new worlds — Germany’s Weihenstephan and U.S. based Sierra Nevada.
