B. United International Inc. - Privatbrauerei G. Schneider & Sohn

Philosophy:

Schneider Weisse is a pure natural product without additives or chemical agents. Nor will this ever change in future.

Georg I. Schneider committed the secret recipe for the legendary Schneider Weisse to writing in 1864. The family have kept this recipe closely guarded to this day and have always passed it on from father to son.

No compromises are made either when it comes to the Schneider Weisse ingredients: hops and malt, water and yeast and nothing else. To ensure Schneider Weisse stays the way it is - characteristically original in taste and unique in aroma - the starting and raw materials are predominantly purchased from our own region.

The hops for Schneider Weisse grows right at our doorstep in the Hallertau region, on independently certified soil that is tendered with care and cultivated in a manner that is steeped with tradition.

The regional ties of the Schneider family not only secure our location, they guarantee the consistent high quality of this famous wheat beer speciality.

A further important prerequisite for the taste is open fermentation. Top-fermented yeast simply obtains more oxygen to live in the open fermenting vats. With the yeast cells that then rise to the surface, we still take the time - in contrast to many other breweries - to skim them off by hand.

And finally, today as in the past, Schneider Weisse beer is allowed to mature by means of the original four-week long bottle fermentation process. The source of its natural good taste since 1872.

Ingredients:

1. Water

To make our wheat beers, we use, in compliance with the German Drinking Water Act, clear spring water which springs from the surrounding Jurassic rock and is obtained from deep wells.

2. Brewing Wheat

The variety of wheat typically used for our wheat beers originates for the most part from independently certified contract growers, and this proportion will be increased even further in future. This necessitates clear guidelines to serve as the basis for regular soil examinations for nitrogen.
