The Schneider brewery was established in 1872 when Georg Schneider purchased the right to brew wheat beer by King Ludwig II. Up to that point wheat beer could only be brewed by the Bavarian royal family in one of their "Weisses Brauhaus" (wheat beer brewpub). He purchased and brewed in the Weisses Brauhaus im Tal/Munich and the Weisses Brauhaus in Kelheim. This second brewery has been used to brew wheat beer since 1607 and is therefore the oldest continually operating Weisse Beer brewery in the world.

Tasting Notes:

Tasting Notes:
Appearance:	CO2 develops in the thin bottom of the glass and creates the glorious head. Cloudy, with a dark, rusty color.
Aroma:	Banana, nutmeg, clove, vanilla. These are the components created by the use of the original multistrain yeast for bottle refermentation. Wafts of creamy wheat.
Flavor:	Thick, full, rich wheat flavor. Less citrusy than most wheat beers tend to be. Slightly sweet. Virtually no bitterness.
