Beer Review: Hacker-Pschorr Weisse

This isn't so much a beer review as it is a beer endorsement. I went out last night for a while. The bar that I went to has 50 beers on tap. I picked one and stuck with it the entire night. That beer was Hacker-Pschorr Weisse. It's my go to guy. It never disappoints. I like weisse beers in general because they are light without being lite beer. Most lite beer is flavorless and flat. It doesn't really taste like anything, so it's never really satisfying to drink. But people in general like it because of its blandness. Also, you can drink a lot of them before you get full.

Weisse beers don't fill you up and they taste great. Hacker-Pschorr is probably my favorite. It is popular enough that just about everyone has it on tap, even Applebee's (I think). It has a crisp and refreshing taste. It hits the tongue with a citrusy bite, which is heightened if you add a lemon wedge. I recommend keeping the lemon wedge on the rim of the glass instead of squeezing it into the beer. Every few drinks, run the wedge around the rim of the glass. It gives you an even lemon flavor and nothing floating in your beer. Hacker-Pschorr Weisse has a very clean finish too. There is no strong after taste to take over your mouth. This makes it a great beer to have with food, especially chicken and fish.

When I want a good beer with dinner or even a solid choice to get me through a long night, I go with Hacker-Pschorr Weisse.
