Hefe-Weizen
Wheat beer is a Bavarian specialty. In the 16th century, the Electors of Bavaria declared
beer made from wheat to be a monopoly of the state, which remained for centuries.
Very light in body and color. Crisp, dry, spritzy, and refreshing unfiltered beer. Clean ale-yeast aroma and flavor, without the characteristic yeasty spiciness of a Bavarian wheat beer.
Smoked trout salad; schnitzel, choucroute garni (sausages, ham and bacon served over
sauerkraut), spinach salads with boiled shrimp, gazpacho. Serve in tall vase-shaped glass
garnished with a thin slice of lemon.

Jubilate Dark Lager
Jubilate was first brewed in 1966 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Pinkus Brewery. Crisp and with some caramel notes from dark malt, this beer pays tribute to German lagers of the early 19th century.
Deep amber-brown color with great depth and richness; a medium-to-full-bodied celebratory lager with an elegant hop finish.
Excellent with classic German cuisine: smoked meats, potatoes, sauerkraut; great with hearty bread, cream soups, or deli sanwiches.
Twenty 16.9-ounce bottles.
