Launched in 1978, Schöfferhofer quickly became one of Germany's leading wheat beers and is now the fourth best seller in the German market. Incidentally, ‘Hefe’ means yeast and ‘Weizen’ means wheat.

Hefeweizen is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned wheat beer with a yeast sediment giving it a cloudy appearance. The first three-quarters of a Hefeweizen beer should be poured into a tilted, rinsed glass. The last quarter should be swirled around in the bottle to pick up settled sediment and then poured into the glass.
