Recent evidence now suggests that drinking wheat beer also
has its perks for living better, and it is not just used for getting happy
after a few drinks. Wheat, unlike barley, has higher levels of protein in its
yield. This is why wheat beer is known for having a characteristic cloudy
appearance. Protein is a very important part of maintaining a healthy
metabolism and essential to muscle growth with athletes. There is a significant
amount of protein in wheat beer that can be further broken down into simpler
carbohydrates that the body needs to remain healthy. This is perhaps why events
like Tough Mudder will provide beer to the public after finishing their
strenuous obstacles. Drinking 1-2 wheat beers a day may help prevent heart
problems, reduce stress, and may extend the lifespan of a person.
Since its discovery, wheat has developed into one of the
most important crops consumed by humans. It has been historically used as flour
for producing bread, which was and still is the lifeblood of most cultures
since civilizations began to form. However, the wheat crop has historically had
to compete with those parties wanting to produce bread and those wanting to
produce beer. With the advent of modern war, it became clear that wheat
resources would have to be used to produce bread instead of beer. But in recent
times, wheat has made a huge comeback in the production of beer. The resurgence
of wheat beer is due to more stable wheat output worldwide.
So, wheat beer does provide quite a few health benefits but let’s
not forget that it is also a great beer to drink. We have considered this fact,
which is why we have decided to produce our very own wheat beer, called a hefeweizen.
A hefeweizen distinguishes itself as a very refreshing summer beer with its
origins in Southern Germany. Our recipe remains true to Old World traditions by
keeping beer simple and enjoyable. When savoring our delicious Hefe (pronounced
Hef-uh), one could find a delicate banana and citrus taste that
is complex yet subtle enough to enjoy after a good workout to replenish protein.
