Schneider Weisse Original from Germany

白ビールの元祖を自負するビールです。白ビールの泰斗で、このビールのレシピを作ったゲオルグ・シュナイダー1世は白ビール評論家から崇められるほどです。200年ほど前まで、白ビールはババリア地方王家の醸造所のみで作られていたものでしたが、ルドウィッヒ2世が売上の低迷を理由に止めてしまい、その専売権をジョージ・シュナイダー1世に売却してしまいます。以来、白ビールを作り続けますが、1927年、今の場所であるケルハイムに移り、現在に至ります。1607年にババリア地方の白ビールとして誕生して以来、シュナイダーは最も古い白ビールの醸造所として、現在も続いています。

The history of wheat beer is also the history of the Schneider brewing family and famous Schneider Weisse. Georg I Schneider, as the wheat beer pioneer and creator of the Schneider Weisse Original recipe (which is still used today), is revered by all wheat beer connoisseurs. 200 years ago, wheat beer could only be brewed by the Bavarian royal family in their breweries. In 1872, KIng Ludwig II discontinued brewing wheat beer due to a steady decline in sales. That same year, he sold Gerog I Shneider the exclusive right to brew wheat beer. Today, Gerog VI Schneider is running the brewery in Kelheim, which the family acquired in 1927 and has remained the Schneider Weisse brewery to this day. It is the oldest wheat beer brewery in Bavaria; wheat beer has been brewed there without interruption since its founding in the year 1607.
