Dunkelweiss 30°
Deep amber brown with a dense off-white head, Dunkelweiss 30° rediscovers hefeweissbiers through a Belgian brewer’s lens. Envisioned by our own Matty “Smooth” Gilliland, this beer opens with sweet clove and banana notes that give way to a chocolaty warm finish with a peppery tingle across the palate.
“I thought it would be fun to make a German wheat beer; we’ve explored the Belgian wheats pretty thoroughly,” said brewer Matt Gilliland. “Since this is Lips of Faith – and part of what makes that program fun is to make beers that are really unique and different – making a big, dark Weiss beer sounded pretty folly-licious. It’ll still showcase all of the flavors that a Hefeweiss beer would have, but with added body – think of it as a Gran Cru dunkelweiss.”

Matt Gilliland, our Production Process Analyst and the creator of our Dunkelweiss30˚, recommends:
Since it is light bodied but full flavored, it's quite versatile. Pair it with a baked brie for an appetizer. For a main course, DunkelWeiss' sweetness & black pepper character will offset game meats like elk or venison, or can complement a more flavorful fish like smoked salmon. For dessert, I believe in going simple. Have a glass with a single scoop of vanilla ice cream and that's all you need.
