The best crystal wheat beer in the world comes from Weihenstephan!

30-Aug-2022 - Germany

The cheers could be heard all over Weihenstephan Hill: When the results of the World Beer awards were announced, people at the Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan were already cheering. So it was all the nicer that another award was added to the medals at the national level: the one for the best crystal wheat beer in the world!

But first things first: First, three beers received silver medals in Germany: Hefeweißbier, Hefeweißbier Dunkel, and Weihenstephaner Helle. In addition, the brewery was delighted to receive a bronze medal for the Original Helle.

But the spotlight was on the Kristallweissbier: The beer specialty received the highest honors with the award for "World's Best Kristal." This award joins various gold and silver medals from previous years - a great success! Of course, this is not entirely by chance: very drinkable, a refreshing refraction, summery citrus aromas, perfectly complemented by the fine banana notes of a wheat beer - the crystal wheat beer is wellness for the palate. But it's not just the Weihenstephan champion that continues the string of awards - all the other beers honored are also "repeat offenders."

"This is a great confirmation of the outstanding work that our brewers do day after day," said Technical Manager Tobias Zollo on Thursday. "We are very proud of these awards."

Prof. Dr. Josef Schrädler, director of the Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan, added: "We are particularly pleased, in addition to the great success of the Kristallweißbier, about the medal for our Weihenstephaner Helles. This means we've only been on the market for two years, and we can already celebrate our second award alongside the gold medal at the European Beer Star." Weihenstephaner Helle was launched on the market in May 2020 in the 0.5-liter euro bottle and has now continued its triumphant progress in the 0.33-liter euro bottle since the beginning of summer 2022.

The World Beer Awards are among the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. In 2022 alone, over 3200 beers from around 50 countries were submitted and tasted by an international jury of experts.
