Weihenstephan 1516 Kellerbier 5.6% 500ml

1516 Kellerbier was first brewed to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot (purity law for beer). It has rapidly become an insider tip among beer enthusiasts and is often served with grilled foods, roasts and cheeses.

1516 Kellerbier is full-bodied with a pleasant caramel note and a rich amber color. During the extended maturation period, the bottom-fermenting yeast sediments at the bottom of the tank, leaving the beer with a slightly opalescent cloudiness, part of its characteristic appearance. The balanced hop note rounds out the flavor perfectly.

What is a Kellerbier?

Translates to “Cellar Beer.”  Kellerbier is a type of German beer, an unfiltered lager. Kellerbier contains more of its original brewing yeast,  held in suspension. As a result, it is distinctly cloudy.
