There's Justin and Ryan accepting our bronze medal for Hefeweizen at the 2012 Great American Beer Festival! That makes two medals for our Hefeweizen, after a gold medal in 2004. (I bet they haven't had to pay for a beer all night!)
We are always proud of our Hefeweizen, from its use of only authentic German wheat malt and a true German yeast, to our use of the traditional form of bottle-conditioning using only high-krausen wort (where a portion of hefeweizen made the night before is added just before bottling, undergoing a secondary fermentation in the bottle). We always love when German tourists in Nashville give a suspicious glance when we recommend our hefe - only to say "it's guut!"when they drink it! But it's especially nice to win a medal for it, at the equivalent of the Oscars for brewers. Prost!

Congrats! I didn't know you guess did bottle conditioning. It's even cooler that it's done by krausening. Why don't you see a lot of sediment in the bottle? Just not a highly flocculant yeast?
Awesome. Had your Hefe for the first time last night and I think it tops Franziskaner as my new favorite. Expect lots of business from this Memphis fan!
