ヘフェ・ヴァイツェンはドイツ語で酵母入り白ビールの意。濾過していないので濁っており、歴史的な醸造スタイルのビールです。ところで、1887年にヨハン・ライカイムによって設立されたライカイム醸造所は他にもシュタインビールがあります。中世ではまだ金属釜はメジャーではなく、木製の釜でした。当然、火を使えないので、焼けた石を釜の中に入れて醸造したため、シュタイン(石)ビールと言います。今もこの製法のビールを造っています。何かの機会に飲んでみたいビールです。
Hefe Weizen means non-filtered white beer, therefore it is muddied light brown colour beer. It is old style brewing method. By the way, talking of Leikeim Brewery, which was established by Johann Leikeim in 1887, has another kind beer, which is called Steinbier, it means Stone Beer in English and also old style brewing method. Metal iron pot was not so common in medieval times in Europe, therefore beer used to be brewed by wooden one. Needless to say, it could not be used fire, therefore hot stones were in the pot for brewing. Leikeim Brewery brews Steinbier by the historical method until now. I would like to try the beer one day.
