I have recently posted articles here about the Eibauer Brewery in the town of Eibau near the Polish border. They make a variety of beers that are marketed in the US.
This week, I happened to be at the Old World Village in Huntington Beach and while shopping in their market I came across a can of what was labeled, Zittauer Buergerbrau Blond produced by the Eibauer Brewery. Out of curiosity, I bought a can for over 5 dollars.
While I had it cooling in the fridge, I did some research on the Eibauer website. What I found was a Zittauer Buergerbrau in a bottle with a green label as opposed to the pale yellow can I had purchased.
As it turned out, what I had purchased was a hefeweizen (5.2%) even though the label did not mention hefeweizen. I am not a fan of Hefeweizens, so I was a bit disappointed. But if you like hefeweizen, you might also like this one.
